Salaries tabled-special meeting planned. 


A standing room only 
situation existed at the Town 
Hall Annex on Monday night 
when about 75 residents of 
the town attended the council 
meeting to express opinions 
regarding the proposed re- 
muneration for the mayor. 
Mayor Plain chaired the 
meeting at which several 
past members of council 
were in attendance. Discuss-

ion on the matter was not 
limited to a particular span of 
time so that views could be 
heard and this matter took 
over two hours of the nearly 
four hour meeting. 


NO EXECUTIVE 
ASSISTANT 


Mayor Plain was asked by 
Mr. Keith Easson, who 


spoke first, if he had hired an 
executive assistant or if an 
executive assistant was to be 
hired. The mayor flatly 
denied that one had been 
hired or indeed that there 
was any desire or intention to 
create such a post within St. 
Albert’s municipal structure. 

Next to speak was Mrs. 
Tupper who stated that she 
was in favour of the increase 


in pay for the mayor, but she 
could only support the 
proposal if she received some 
assurance that future mayors 
would be as qualified or as 
willing to put the effort into 
the position as the incumbent 
mayor. She felt that if 
previous mayors had extra 
effort into their duties then 
St. Albert may not be 


experiencing the problems of 


rapid growth. Her sugges- 
tion to overcome the current 
controversy over the remun- 
eration increase was the 
payment of a ‘‘bonus”’ to 
bring up his salary.

query the salary increase. 
First to speak was Mr. 
Robert Hudson who asked 
the mayor if the resolution 
had come from a committee 
of council as is the usual case 
for such proposals. The 
mayor responded that the 
motion had stemmed from 
the council and was moved 
by Coun. Breadner. 
Mr. Hudson asked if the

Large crowd enjoyed fine program 
which opened Seniors Rec Centre 


There was standing room 
only at the Senior Citizen’s 
Recreation Centre at Tache 
Street for Sunday afternoon’s 
opening ceremonies, and 
despite the unexpected Jan- 
uary rain and slippery condi- 
tions, older people formed 
the greater part of the crowd. 
The building looked lovely,

Borrowing By-Laws 
given readings 


Town council gave second 
reading to a Bylaw (No, 
30/74) to authorize the 
council to borrow $583,475. 
for the purpose of construc- 
ting a Police Building ona 
portion of property bordering 
on Tache Street and Sir 
Winston Churchill Avenue. 
The Health Unit, Legion 
Hall, and the Police Building 
are proposed to be located on 
the property. 


The loan, under the terms 
of the bylaw, is to be repaid 
over a period of 25 years. A 
$40,000 grant is available to 
assist in the construction of a 
police building from the 
solicitor general's depart- 
ment and the estimated total 
cost of the project (supplied 
by the consulting architect of 
the town) is $623,475.00. 

The cost of the land on 
which the building is to be 


located is estimated to be 
$134,475 while the construc- 
tion itself is estimated to be 
$489,000.00. 

Coun, Breadner was con- 
cerned that the cost per 
square foot of the building, 
$61., appeared a bit high in 
terms of the prices quoted on 
other public buildings. May- 
or Plain pointed out that the 
requirements for a police

comed ‘‘everyone who has 
come to share the excitement 
of this day with us.’’ She 
thanked all who had worked 
so hard. on the project and 


“the masy people who had 


made donations for the 
Centre. 

Rev. Barford dedicated the 
building with an earnest and 


most fitting prayer, prior to 
the cutting of the ribbon by 
Mrs. Szuba, Dr. Walker and 
Mr. Jamison. 


DR. WALKER PLEASED 


**It is a real pleasure to 
attend this opening in this 
lovely warm place,’’ said Dr. 
Walker, and see the comple- 
tion of this project, one.of 166 
submitted to the RCMP 
Celebration Committee. Qu- 
ite a number of these were 
for senior centres of various 


types, he said, and this is 
quite the most sumptious. It 
was one that qualified for the 
maximum grant, he added, 
and the application of the WI 
gained this approval on its 
merit and the fact that it 
involved other organizations 
and was a real community 
effort. He congratulated tho- 
se who worked on the 
project, and ‘‘above all the 
WI and presented an RCMP 
Centennial Plaque to Mrs. 
Szuba to hang in the Centre,

Council considers 
proposal for 


recreation park 


One of the items added to 
the agenda of the council 
meeting held on Monday 
night was a letter from Ernie 
Jamison, MLA, reporting 
that he had approached the 
Minister of Public Works as 
to the intention of the 
Government for the use of 
River Lot 56. 

River lot 56, or at least a 
portion of the site located 
on the east boundary of St. 
Albert, has been used by Girl 
Guides and Scouts for camp- 
sites. 

Mr. Jamison’s letter sug- 
gested that the mayor and 
council submit a proposed 
plan for land use of the 
property which under gov- 
ernment policy could possi- 
bly be leased for a 49 or 99 
year period at a nominal fee. 
Further the letter suggested 
that the town consider an 
agreement with the Kinsmen 
Club, the Scouts and Guides 
and other recognized local 
groups to develop the land as 
a recreation park. 

‘The Kinsmen Club have 
shown keen interest in this 
area for their annual Rod- 
eo,’ Mr. Jamison states in 
the letter, ‘‘and would like to 


discuss this possibility with 
council in the near future as 
they have been given written 
notice to vacate the present 
site completely by June 30, 
1975.”’ 

The letter suggested that a 
Farmers Market Place in the 
St. Albert area would be 
beneficial to the residents in 
the town and district, and 
pointed out a possibility 
which could be explored to 
have a large building erected 
on the site to be put to many 
uses. 

Mayor Plain stated that 
the reason the item was 
brought before council was to 
receive comments and hear 
questions from council, and 


A Public Forum on School 
Bus Safety and Operation is 
being held tonight at 8 
o'clock at the Town Hall 
annex. Messrs. Ed Glasser

ask their blessing to proceed 
along with Reeve Flynn of 
the MD of Sturgeon and the 
MLA to do everything within 
reason to acquire a long term 
lease on the land for its use 
on a recreational basis. 
Coun. Throndson asked if 
arrangements could be made 
with the MD regarding taxes 
on the property. The mayor 
felt that the information 
regarding the taxes, lease, 
and the possible agreements 
would require a full report 
brought back to council. 
Mayor Plain also noted 
that many aspects had to be 
considered including exam- 
ination of the formation of an 
agricultural society with re-

on behalf of the Hon. Bob 
Dowling who was unable to 
attend. 

Mrs. Dalman called next 
on Mrs. Szuba, who review- 
ed the history of the Seniors 
Club. It was organized in the 
fall of 1969, she said, with 
the help of the St. Albert 
Lady Lions. Their interest 
then, and through the years, 
has been a source of much 
help to us she noted. The 
first president was the late 
Susy Michelot, followed by 
the late Freda Wellar. ‘‘We 
gathered at the St. Albert 
Community Hall and were 
grateful for their courtesy in 
letting us use the hall rent 
free. But we couldn't have 
paid them anyway,’’ laughed 
Mrs. Szuba - ‘‘our balance 
was usually about $1.39 - and 
that’s not rent money these 
days!’’ Every hour spent in 
the hall was marvellous, she 
went on, and we made many 
new friends. ‘‘But we saw 
the need to expand our 
recreation facilities and the 
WI took on their shoulders a 
heavy task of administration 
and work. The citizens of St. 
Albert should be proud of the 
WI - they are leaving a 
legacy for all our senior 
citizens to enjoy,’’ concluded 
Mrs. Szuba, who looked 
lovely for the occasion in her 
long gown of green wool 
jersey. 


SENIORS THANK W.L. 


Mary Joyal, secretary-tr- 
easurer of the Senior Citizens 
Club and Alice Durocher, 
vice-president were called on 
for the next presentation - an 
attractive plaque from the 


Seniors Rec Centre 


Seniors in apprecition for the 
tremendous job done by the 
WI, which was accepted by 
President Nora Rouault. On 
behalf of Grandin Flowers 
Marg Dalman presented a 
beautiful bouquet to Mrs. 
Van Tighem who, at 95, is 
the oldest member of the 
Senior’s Club. 


“USE YOUR CENTRE” - 
MR. NORMAND 


“It is a real thrill to be 
here,’’ said Mr. Charles 
Normand of the New Horiz- 
ons federal government pro- 
gram, which contributed 
almost $12,000 towards the 
furnishing of the centre. The 
New Horizons program for 
seniors has produced some of 
the best results in terms of 
money invested he said. And 
I offer you a challenge he 
added - Make the best of 
your new centre - use it to the 
fullest possible extent. And 
he told a story of a senior’s 
project in Beaverlodge, wh- 
ere they wrote a 600-page 
history of their community. It 
went to Winnipeg for print- 
ing and was to be back in 
early December for pre-Chr- 
istmas sales. There were 
delays and finally a tele- 
phone call produced the 
answer that it would be ready 
by December 20. Well don’t 
mail it - we'll come for it said 
the club member. So two 
seniors left by truck, a driver 
aged 72 and his co-driver, 
age 82 years. On the way 
home they encountered a bad 
storm and near impassable 
roads for the last stretch. A 
young police officer said they 
could not go any further.

creation overtones. 

Coun. Breadner ascertain- 
ed from the mayor that there 
is no time constraint and that 
what the proposal would 
involve, if resolved by 
council to proceed, would be 
approaching the Minister of 
Public Works on a more 


formal basis. 

Coun. Breadner moved 
that the mayor and the town 
staff proceed along with the 
MD and the MLA to attempt 
to acquire the property on a 
long term lease and investi- 
gate the alternate for its use. 
The motion carried 7 to 0. 


By-law readings

building are different than 
what is the norm with other 
public facilities. 

Coun. Wetsch told the 
council that the architect’s 
drawings were not available 
at the January Police Comm- 
ission meeting but would 
possibly be supplied in 
February. He said that he 
would forward particular 
concerns of council to the 
Commission. 

Coun. Breadner queried if 
approval had been received 
from all bodies concerned as 
to their prospective locations 
on the site. He noted that the 
Legion had yet to ratify the 
site and Coun. Throndson 
said that they had received 
the information and would 
soon be coming forward with 
their conclusion. 

Coun. Throndson noted 
that the indebtedness to be 
incurred need not be an 
indicator of the cost of the 
building and the bylaw 
merely ascertained the borr- 
owing power of the town. 
Coun. Breadner noted that 
there would be a means of 
enhancing public relations as 
well as enhancing recreation 
programs if the shooting 
range located in the police 


building could be made 
accessible for citizens of the 
town. Second reading carried 
7 to 0. 

The second Bylaw which 
was read at the council 
meeting was No. 2/75 to 
provide for the consiruction 
of a water supply main. The 
bylaw was given first reading 
only at the meeting and 
ioilowing first reading it was 
to be sent to the Local 
Authorities Board. 

Coun. Throndson moved 
the first reading and the 
motion carried 7 to 0. 

The town’s consulting 
engineers estimate the cost 
of the construction of the line 
to be $783,000 and a certain 
amount of the cost will be 
reimbursed by the City of 
Edmonton at a time when the 
city requires use of that main 
for its own purposes. Total 
cost of the water mains are 
estimated to be $1,539,947 
and the City of Edmonton 
will rebate an estimated 
$1,222,947 in or about the 
year 1979, 

The bylaw states that the 
application for authorization 
to borrow the full $1,539,847 
is to be dated the Ist of 
February, 1975. 


‘*But we have to go,’’ said 
the two old gentlemen. 
“Then you'll go at your own 
risk,”’ replied the young offi- 
cer. ‘‘Sonny,’’ said the driver 
- I've been driving for 60 
years at my own risk - we’re 
going through.’’ Mr. Nor- 
mand concluded his remarks 
with congratulations on the 
fine Centre and commenda- 
tion to the WI. 


TOWN CONGRATULATES 


Mayor Dick Plain spoke on 
behalf of the town council 
congratulating the WI on the 
determination and unselfish 
effort which produced such a 
fine centre for the town’s 
senior citizens, saying that 
the town was happy to have 
been able to make the site 
available and render some 
assistance in moving the 
former teen centre building 
to its present location. He 
hoped that the location, close 
to shopping facilities and 
Lions Park, would result in 
interaction between the pub- 
lic of all ages with the older 
residents, which he felt 
would be of benefit to all. 

‘*‘Whoever would have 
believed,’’ said MLA Ernie 
Jamison that the former teen 
centre could have been so 
wonderfully transformed into 
the cosy, bright and practical 
building we are opening 
today. I, for one, had my 
doubts.’’ But of course we 
know who believed it could 
be done, he went on - never 
underestimate the power of a 
woman - let alone a group of 
women like our WI gals.’’ 
They took on a big job and 
they did it, said Mr. Jamison 
- never mind opposition from 
some elected officials, some 
husbands, some Lions, and 
other mere men. 

I have been thinking he 
said, how appropriate the 
phrase Senior Citizens really 
is. Our older people are our 
seniors in sO many ways. 
‘*Senior in wisdom which 
comes more from the exper- 
ience of living than it does 
from schools and books. 
Seniors in compassion and 
understanding - for they 
have experienced sorrow and 
hard times - and senior to 
younger people in their 
faith.’’ How fortunate are the 
children who know first hand 
the love and understanding 
of grandparents! I hope you 
will often have children and 
young people as visitors to 
this centre, he added. 

‘*‘No group of Albertans is 
more deserving of govern- 
ment help than our senior 
citizens who raised their 
families with no medicare, no 
baby bonus cheques, no 
Canada Pension Plan, no 
social security programs, and 
no 36-hour weeks. Many 
lived through two wars and a 
terrible depression. Any help 
they receive from govern- 
ment at all levels is richly 
deserved, concluded Mr. 
Jamison. He presented Mrs. 
Szuba with a picture from a 
historical painting depicting 
a meeting between RCMP 
and Indian people. 


PROVINCIAL W.I. 
EXECUTIVE PRESENT 


All of the members of the 
Provincial W.1. were pre- 
sent: Mrs. Morrisroe, presi- 
dent, of Red Deer; Mrs. 
Ballhorn, lst V.P. of Wet- 
askiwin; Mrs. Lesfrud, 2nd 
V.P. and Mrs. McMillan, 
secretary-treasurers of Ed- 


2 - ST, ALBERT & STURGEON GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, JAN, 22, 1975, 


monton, and District Direc- 
tor, Mrs, Holt of Sangudo. 
Mrs. Morrisroe said the 
perseverance of the St. 
Albert branch in this succ- 
essful project has brought 
much honour to the Wom- 
en’s Institute of Alberta and 
was an example of the W.I. 
motto, ‘Service for Home 
and Country.’’ Who better 
could benefit than our 
pioneers, she added. She 
hoped everyone would enjoy 
this party, given in recog- 
nition of an outstanding 
achievement of the St. Albert 
branch. Mrs. Morrisroe pre- 
sented a lovely landscape 
painting for the Centre. 


REMEMBER WHEN 


Toastmistress Marg Dal- 
man called next upon Lorr- 
aine Moore - ‘‘quite an 
outstanding writer.’’ Lorr- 
aine, who spearheaded the 
project for the WI gave a 
delightful and humorous 
account entitled Remember 
When, of the many ‘trials 
and tribulations faced by the 
group of women from the 
time they began the project. 

She began with Edgar 
Guest’s poem on It Couldn’t 
Be Done But They Did It. 
Speaking of the attitude of 
some councillors and men in 
organizations she felt that 
“‘they thought this was just a 
group of women - we'll 
humour them - but nothing 
will ever come of it.’’ There 
were letters and meetings 
and submissions - and blue- 
prints lost in town hall, and 
questions not answered - we 
just kept it up, said Mrs. 
Moore, but singled out 
former mayor, Mr. Gibbon, 
as one who consistently 
supported the project. There 
were trips in a Toyota to pick 
up long lengths of pipe - 
beams: dropped on toes - 
beams discovered to be two 
feet short. One trip was to a 
city firm to pick up needed 
plumbing supplies, listed in 
every detail by a local firm. 
‘*The men in there were I’m 
sure under the impression 
that we women were putting 
in the plumbing ourselves,”’ 
said Lorraine - and we didn’t 
say anything to indicate we 
were not. There were long 
delays in getting definite 
word that the provincial 
RCMP Centennial grant was 
in fact coming through, 
causing more consternation. 

The matter of a basement 
also caused much discussion 
with town hall. First there 
would be a basement - then it 
wouldn’t be feasible - then it 
would. Finally it was decided 
- no basement. 

Volunteers working to 
hammer the nails exactly in a 
straight line - people coming 
to ‘sidewalk superintend’’ - 
and coming back later;to go 
to work. Through it all said 


Lorraine a wonderful com- 
radeship developed and we 
all became friends. The 
coffee pot was always on and 
each day the WI members 
brought home baked squares 
and cookies. While the roof 
was being tarred a weiner 
roast was held - using the fire 
under the tar pot. Husbands 
and sons and daughters of 
the WI members worked 
hard and long - as did the 
seniors themselves, includ- 
ing the women. 

Word came of the federal 


government grant for fur-. 


nishings and local and 
district residents kept com- 
ing with donations of articles 
as well as work hours. The 
project was steadily going 
ahead. It was discovered the 
doors weren’t wide enough 
to admit wheel chairs - so we 
re-did the doors, said Mrs. 
Moore. Finally it came to the 
interior painting and finish- 
ing touches - which were 
going on even until last 
night! 

This is a time for us to 
thank our husbands, said 
Mrs. Moore - often there 
were no meals ready - no 
wives at home - and we 
frequently called on them to 
volunteer their help in many 
many ways. We are grateful 
to so many for their help said 
Mrs. Moore - and our own 
Marg Dalman never missed 
one work day! Mrs. Moore 
was given a hearty applause. 

Marg Dalman called Mrs. 
Szuba forward and presented 
her with a shovel, indicative 
of the sod turning ceremony 
for the Centre, mounted on a 
wooden plaque with smaller 
inscribed plaque suspended 
from it, to hang in the 
entrance area. She also 
presented an Alberta W.I. 
Plaque, bearing the provin- 
cial W.I. crest which, Mrs. 
Dalman said, is not very 
often used in such a manner. 

Donna McMartin of the 
Welcome Wagon Newcomers 
Club expressed the congra- 


tulations of the club to the 
WI and the Senior Citizens 
and presented a handsome 
vibrator chair for the Centre, 
which she hoped the older 
people would find useful as a 
relaxing treatment. 


LUNCHEON & MUSIC 


A luncheon was served 
following the program, while 
Danny Boisvert and the 
Starlites entertained, on be- 
half of the Knights of 
Columbus. Their delightful 
and appropriate music got 
some of the seniors, WI 
members and visitors up on 
the dance floor in the mood 
of many happy times to come 
in the Centre. In fact after 
many had gone a group of 
seniors stayed on, including 
three of St. Albert’s Citizens 
of the Year: Dr. Wm. Cuts, 
Ed Savoie and Henry Terr- 
ault who holds the honour at 
present. Since Lorraine Mo- 
ore is also a former first 
citizen, they were well 
represented Sunday. The 
band played till 5:30 and the 
others stayed till about 
seven, enjoying some more 
good food while the W.I. 
members were clearing up. 

Members of the Starlites 
are Joanne Martineau, vo- 
calist, Joanne Boisvert, pia- 
no and singer, Giles Bour- 
geois, Harold Klak and 
Robert Boisvert on guitar, 
Donald Martineau on drums 
and leader Danny Boisvert 
on the violin. With the 
exception of Robert all the 
musicians are singers as 
well, 

Plans will be made this 
week for arrangements on 
keeping the Centre open, 
and a drop-in meeting was 
held today at the Centre. 
And on Saturday Mrs. Szuba 
will be there from one until 
four o’clock in order that all 
older folk that will be 
shopping can drop in to play 
games, rest and enjoy a cup 
of coffee.

was issued in December, 
1973). There were 10 permits 
issued for garages during 
December, 1974 (none dur- 
ing, 1973). 

Permit figures to date for 
garages shows an increase 
during 1974 compared to 
1973; 212 permits were 
issued in 1974, 162 were 
issued in 1973. The number 
of permits issued for carports 
doubled in 1974 (16), 8 were 
issued in 1973. 

Fewer permits were issued 
in 1974 for swimming pools, 
only 3 were issued compared 
with 9 in 1973. 

Lot availability decreased 
at the end of 1974 over the 
figure supplied at the end of 
1973. There were 933 avail- 
able lots at the 2nd of 
January, 1975. On January 2, 
1974, there were 1,345 
available lots.

The brief regarding Early 
Childhood Education for the 
Mentally Handicapped urged 
that ‘mmediate action be 
taken by the Alberta Gov- 
ernment to implement a 
program for the development 
and education of mentally 
handicapped children in the 
Edmonton area aged from 


birth to age six. 

An operational plan for 
Early Childhood Services 
published by the Govern- 
ment of Alberta in 1973 
states, ‘‘The past decade has 
produced a new body of 
educational, psychological, 
and medical research that 
has documented the crucial 
importance of the first eight 
years of life.’’ The Gateway 
Association’s brief points out 
recent research carried out in 
Seattle demonstrates that 
intervention commencing 
soon after birth and contin- 
uing in a systematic plan 


through to age six is critical 
to the prospects for devel- 
opment of mentally handi- 
capped children. Their sugg- 
estion was that a pilot project 
be implemented to handle 45 
to 50 children which, through 
immediate action, could be- 
gin in a matter of months. 

The second brief presen- 
ted by the Gateway Associa- 
tion drew attention to the 
lack of available residence 
space, camps, or group 
homes for short term or 
long-term care.

Law institute report would 
regulate minor's contracts 


The Institute of Law Re- 
search and Reform has 
issued a report recommend- 
ing a new law regulating the 
contracts of people under 18 
years of age. It thinks that 
the law should be less 
complex and that the court 
should have more power of 
adjustment to ensure fair- 
ness. At presenta seller is 
entitled to be paid for 
necessaries supplied to a 
minor, but he may not be 
able to tell whether the goods 
are really necessary. In other 


cases it is hard for either side 
to know whether a contract is 
not binding at all or whether 
it is binding until set aside, 
and the difference can be 
important. The court has no 
power to make adjustments 
and may have to choose a 
result which is harsh to one 
side or the other. 

The Institute’s majority 
report would allow an adult 
to enforce a contract against 
a minor if he had good reason 
to think it fair in itself and in 
the circumstances of the

minor. No other contract 
would be enforceable against 
the minor, but the court 
would have the power to 
adjust the rights of the adult 
and the minor by requiring 
either one to pay money or 
return property. A minority 
report would prefer not to 
provide for amy class of 
enforceable contracts and 
would allow the court to 
adjust the rights of the 
parties in all cases. 

The Institute’s report 
deals with many incidental! 
matters. Guarantors of min- 
ors’ contracts would be 
required to honour their 
guarantees and would be 
able to recover from the 
minor whatever the court 
thinks is fair. If a minor did 
not repudiate the contract 
within a year of his 18th 
birthday he would be bound 
by it. Even if the minor lies 
about his age, the new law 
would apply to the contract. 
The court could, if necessary, 
validate a contract and make 
it enforceable.

been forwarded to the Attor- 
ney General.

As a businessman in the 
community I feel that it is 
essential that some obvious 
facts are brought to the 
attention of the citizens of St. 
Albert. 

To ask an individual to 
guide or operate what is 
essentially a $6 million a year 
business for the princely sum 
of $12 thousand per annum is 
some kind of a joke. 

What was required was a 
millionaire who was pre- 
pared to take on the respon- 
sibility of runningé town and 
would be a flaming patriot m 
the bargain, who could write 
off the time spent 
business expense. 

This type of an individual 
is hard to come by. As a 
matter of fact they are as 
scarce as hen’s teeth. 

I believe that what we have 
is a very capable young man 
who is prepared to give the 
job an honest effort, but 
because he is not independ- 
ently wealthy has indicated 
to the people of St. Albert 


as a

that the time requirements to 
do the job rnake it necessary

I would like to point out 
that for the first time in 
history of this town, devel- 
opers will be held account- 
able for recreational costs, 
and will have to pay as they 
develop. 

The saving from this type 
of action to the individual 
taxpayer - on this item alone 
- more than compensates any 
raise the mayor will receive.

Questions increase in 
mayor's salary 


The recent bid by Dr. Plain 
to change the position of 
mayor to a two-thirds full 
time job and to increase his 
gross income to $20,000 per 
annum would appear to have 
caused considerable adverse 
reaction among the elector- 
ate. 

One question which has 
not been explained fully is 
why an obviously intelligent 
person like Dr. Plain should 
make such a move after only 
two months of a three year 
term. 

It seems to me that there 
are a number of answers 
which could be applied to 
this question: 

1. When campaigning for 
mayor, Dr. Plain grossly 
underestimated the demands 
of the position. If such is the 
case, what other aspects of 
the job did he underesti- 
mate? 

2. By asking for such a 
large raise so early in his 
term of office he is relying on 
the notoriously short memory 
of the electorate, so that, by 
the time of the next clection 
the two-thirds full time 
position and the exorbitant 
salary will be an accepted 
fact. 

3. It is an accepted prac- 
tice in industry for a new 
employee to prove himself 
before an increase in salary 
is given. Perhaps the mayor 
is not confident that he can 
prove himself. 

4. The mayor does not 
expect to get $20,000 per

‘annum. It is a fairly common 


ploy for a union to make an 
outlandish claim initially so 
that they may finally receive 
a raise which is above the 
accepted norm. 

S. Dr. Plain has dillusions 
of grandeur and would like to 
see his position placed on par 
with cities such as Calgary 
and Edmonton. 

It must be remembered 
that Dr. Plain is still a 
comparative amateur in civic 
management. For my money 
- and it is my money - 
$20,000 per annum is a great 
deal of money to pay a part 
time amateur. In any case, 
the Town of St. Albert 
already has a professional 
Town Administrator. 

As a matter of principle |! 
will support a petition for a 
plebiscite on this matter. 
However, I believe Dr. Plain 
will eventually get his raise, 
as the present council has 
already shown that it intends 
to go its own way, regardless 
of electorate demand. | refer, 
of course,.to the plebiscite on 
light industry for St. Albert.

B.C. borrows . 
Arab money 


More peop! are getting 
into the borrov-from-the- 
Arabs game, which is supp- 
osed to be one way of easing 
the petrodollar crisis, But 
reaction to the loans is not all 
favorable. British Columbia 
is now the second Canadian 
province to have dipped 
successfully into the petro- 
dollar pool (Quebec was the 
first). The province's deputy 
minister of Finance landed a 
$100-million loan, at an 
annual rate of 9.75% for B.C. 
Hydro, to be repaid over 
eight years. The lender's 
name remains a secret, but is 
rumored to be Kuwait. 
(Ontario may become the 
third province to borrow from 
Arab sources. It is nego- 
tiating a private placement 
with Arab banks, Provincial 
Treasurer John White has 
said.) This is the third loan 
for B.C. Hydro this fall to 
finance capital expansion. 
Earlier, a 25 year loan at 
10.25% was negotiated in 
New York and a $75 million 


loan was floated on Canadian 
money markets. The latter 
was in two parts: $25 million 
at 8.875%, maturing in 1982; 
and $50 million over 25 years 
at 10%, Political reaction to 
the Arab loan has been 
curious. About the kindest 
comment came from B.C, 
Conservative leader Dr. Scott 
Wallace, who at least noticed 
that the color of the money is 
the same. ‘Their money is 
no different from anyone 
else’s,’’ he said. ‘Besides, 
it's a loan - they're not taking 
over anything.’’ Social Credit 
leader William Bennett said 
the loan marked ‘‘a tragic 
period in B.C. history.”’ But 
Liberal MLA Garde Gardom 
really put the knife in when 
he muttered that the pro- 
vince had better keep up 
payments on the loan or else 
the B.C. Hydro chairman ‘‘is 
going to end up riding a 
camel to work.’’ And through 
the eye of a needle, too, no 
doubt. 


Favours $20,000 
for Mayor 


1 would like to add my 
comments to those of the 
Gazette of January 15, 1975 
regarding the increase of the 
mayor's salary to $20,000 per 
year. 

Why some people relate it 
to $1.00 per person I really 
can't understand. Their rea- 
soning is beyond me. 

I would like to ask those 
people who might think the 
mayor's job is a part time 
and well paid one at $12,000 
per year why, ifitis sucha 
‘*nice’’ job, we seem to be 
able to find no more than two 
serious contenders for the 
job at election time? 

I would like to suggest that 
if the mayor's job had not 
been treated as a ‘‘part 
time’’ job and more time 
spent in hard bargaining 
with developers in the past 
three years we wouldn't be 
faced with, I’m sure, consid- 
erably more than $1.00 per 
person taxes to pay for 
facilities, i.e. recreational, 
fire, health, police, garbage, 
sewer, that should have been 
partly provided for by the 
developers.

gestions and ideas of our 
‘*new’' mayor realized for 
the town a_ saving of 
$350,000. re Akinsdale and 
Qualico. I would say that the 
mayor has not only proved 
himself but has. shown that 
the amount of benefit to the 
town is directly proportioned 
to the amount of time spent 
on the job. 

Councillor Fyfe agrees to 
an increase but not one of 
$8,000. Perhaps she should 
ask a few company presi- 
dents with similar responsi- 
bilities of the mayor if they 
wouldtrade him salaries. 
Perhaps then she wouldn't 
be so concerned about the 
‘take home’’ amount. 

To Richard ‘‘Dick’’ Legg- 
ett I point out that the 
$350,000 saving as a result of 
negotiations with Qualico in 
Akinsdale represents con- 
siderably more than “‘A 
Dollar For Dick.’’ 

Mr. Cooper pointed out 
that Dr. Plain converted the 
mayorality job to one that is 
more than part time over the 
university Christmas holi- 
days. Perhaps it was necess- 
ary. lask Mr. Cooper what 
he did during his days off at 
Christmas. 

If Mr. Pouliot thinks the 
mayor's job only entails 40 
hours a week I| suggest he 
follow Dr, Plain around for a 
week, 

There are towns that ex- 
perience periods that de- 
mand more time from its 
councillors and mayors and | 
believe that St. Albert is 
experiencing one of those 
times now. We need new 
facilities, expanded services, 
and better controlled devel 
opment ‘'now,"’ The town 
can use as much time as its 
mayor and councillors can 
give it. 

I wish not to be confused 
with Garry Hodgins who was 
Dr. Plain’s campaign man 
ager. I have only met Dr, 
Plain once socially and once 
at an election forum, I did not 
work on his campaign. My 
interest is only as an interes 
ied taxpayer and citizen.

District 3 not supporting petition against Bill 22 


Mr. Steve Sieben, chair- 
man of St. Albert School 
District No. 3, opened the 
meeting of January 11 by 
requesting trustee comments 
and guidance in connection 
with the petition to the 
Governor-General of Canada 
to disallow Bill 22 (the official 
languages act). The Alberta 
School Trustees Association 
is responding to a plea from 
the Quebec Association of 
Protestant School Boards. 
That association is seeking to 
have Bill 22 disallowed by 
court test in Canada’s high 
courts. 

Trustee Sylvia Walsh 
commented that she would 
certainly support the petition 
as she feels that the bill 
encroaches upon the freedom 
of a large segment of the 
Canadian people to educate 
their children in the way they 
wish to have them educated. 
She said that the board 
should add their support to 
show that they are interested 
and that it means something 
to them. She added that they 
could not just sit there and do 
nothing about it. 

Mrs. Elsie Lockert sought 
further information from the 
other trustees to enable her 
to better understand the 
situation. Mrs. Walsh briefly 
described the situation surr- 


ounding the contraversial 
bill. 


Mr. Peter Freeman th- 
ought it presumptious to take 
a position on internal affairs, 
not only with another asso- 
ciation but with another pro- 
vince. He considered that 
there are appropriate ways 
and mechanics at provincial 
and federal levels which can 
deal with this type of 
situation. He strongly opp- 
osed supporting the request 
from the Quebec association 
on the grounds that it was 
not the business of District 
No. 3. 

Mrs. Walsh remarked that 
although she respected Mr. 
Freeman's views, she could 
not see how, as a Canadian, 
he could say it was not any 
business of the district. If 
Alberta were to do some- 
thing similar, she felt it 
would be the business of 
every other province across 
the country. 

Mr. Freeman replied to 
the effect that perhaps as a 
Canadian that might be so 
but not as a board member. 
Mr. Ernie Howrish joined 
him in questioning whether 
the board had any right to 
react to what he considered a 
provincial jurisdiction. 

A motion to sign the 
petition was made by Mrs. 
Walsh and the motion was 
lost with Trustees Howrish, 
Lockert and Freeman in 
opposition. (District 6 voted 


to support the petition by a 
3-2 vote at their Dec. 18 
meeting). 

Mr, Sieben read a letter 
from the Alberta School 
Trustees Association stating 
that the Alberta Law Found- 
ation is willing to supply a 
copy of the Criminal Code of 
Canada to the high school 
library and which will be kept 
up to date for a cost of $15. a 
year. Mr. Freeman moved 
that the board accept this 
offer and the motion was 
carried. 

Trustee Sylvia Walsh re- 
ported on the policy hand- 
book and observed that there 
are many items which should 
be in the handbook which are 
not there and many items 
which require updating. She 
informed the board that the 
Policy Handbook Committee 
is undertaking to resolve the 
situation. 

Reporting for the Build- 
ings Committee, Mrs. Walsh 
moved that the comi ‘tree 
recommendation to pr reed 
with renovations, incluaing a 
cooling system, for the 
district administrative build- 
ing be approved. The motion 
was carried. 

Mr. Ted Baldwin, secre- 
tary-treasurer, informed the 
board that the new school

Library prepares spring 
programs 


Spring may not be official 
here but there is definitely a 
springtime feeling in the air 
at the St. Albert Public 
Library at this time of the 
year as the library prepares 
its range of spring programs. 
This year there is literally 
something for everybody and 
the best news is that all are 
free. 

Starting the first week in 
February and running for 10 
consecutive weeks the St. 
Albert Public Library will be 
offering its popular Pre- 
Schooi Storyhours twice a 
week, a weekly after-school 
Storytime of stories, games 
and craft activities for ele- 
mentary school children, and 
a Sunday afternoon Family 
Film program. 

The library's popular Pre- 
School Storyhours will be 
offered on Wednesday from 


2 to 3 p.m., starting Feb. S, 
and on Thursdays from 10 to 
11 a.m., starting Feb. 6. 
There is no charge and no 
registration for these pro- 
grams. Attendance from 
week to week is voluntary but 
children should attend one 
session or the other, not 
both. The hour long program 
includes stories, songs, arts 
and crafts, and puppets. The 
weekly programs are held in 
the Annex, adjacent to the 
library. 

The library is also offering 
a program just for children 
between the ages of five and 
12 every Friday from 4 
o'clock to S o'’ciock this 
spring. It is called Storytime 
and will be held in the boys 
and girls section of the 
library every Friday from 4 to 
S p.m., starting Friday, Feb. 
7. Each week the hour will be 


filled with stories and games 
as well as crafts and special 
features like movies or 
puppet shows. There is no 
registration required, and 
anyone is welcome. Atten- 
dance from week to week is 
voluntary as well. 

For the entire family the 
library will be offering 
Family Films every Sunday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock. Each 
week's program will be 
announced in the Gazette 
and will be listed on the 
Cable 11 billboard weekly. 
There is no charge. The first 
Family Film program will be 
Sunday, Feb. 2 at 2 p.m. 

More information about 
these programs will appear 
in the Gazette from week to 
week and for further infor- 
mation call the St. Albert 
Public Library at 459-3774, or 
better yet, drop by and visit 
your library.

During the break, a 
number of businesses in 
town were without regular 
water supplies in the down- 
town area, 


in the Braeside area is 
approximately three weeks 
ahead of schedule. In reply to 
a question from Mrs. Lock- 
ert, he explained that the 
exterior brickwork would be 
waterproofed and then pain- 
ted. : 

Next on the agenda was a 
report from the superinten- 
dent, Dr. Bill Zielinski. He 
reported that he had hired a 
Mr. Stewart to work in the 
industrial arts laboratory of 
Vincent Maloney school for 
the 75/76 school year. Mr. 
Stewart will also be involved 
in setting up the lab during 
the summer months. 

Dr. Zielinski then moved 
on to student accommodation 
for the 75/76 school year. 
Mrs. Lockert wondered whe- 
ther schools were not full to 
capacity and whether the 
district would be able to 
accommodate another of the 
town’s kindergarten. Dr. 
Zielinski explained that there 
will be a normal seasonal 
increase in September and 
he expected schools to be 
operating at their capacity. 

Dr. Zielinski recommen- 
ded that parent-teacher in- 
terviews take place on the 
evening of March 6 and all 


day on Friday, 7th, to coin- 
cide with Education Week. 
Report cards will be handed 
out on Feb. 28. Mrs. Walsh 
moved that the superinten- 
dent's recommendation be 
approved and the motion was 
carried. 

A Mrs. Billings, repre- 
senting Capital Cable TV, 
was in attendance at the 
meeting. She explained to 
the board that one of the 
objectives of Cable 11 is to 
try to cover the political 
scene. Presently, council 
meetings are televised on 
Cable 11 and the company 
would like to have some 
person cover the meeting 
and then report these meet- 
ings for Capital Cable TV. 
Mrs. Billings asked the trus- 
tees whether they had any 
suggestions as to who might 
wish to perform these duties 
and she suggested, perhaps 
optomistically, that a defeat- 
ed candidate might be 
interested in covering the 
meetings. 

Mrs. Lockert asked if 
Capital Cable had a reporter 
available and Mrs. Billings 
replied that the company did 
not and, as Cable 11 is a 
community channel, it would 


prefer to draw someone from 
the community. 

Mr. Freeman wondered if 
there would be some value in 
turning the matter over to 
the radio and TV students in 
the high school. Mr. Sieben 
agreed that this was a food 
for thought and that the 
board would consider it at a 
subsequent meeting. 

Mr. Ernie Howrish voiced 
his concern over communi- 
cations generally. He said 
that he recognizes that there 
are many different kinds of 
communication throughout 
the district but he would like 
to see the board put in some 
extra effort into communica- 
tion. He suggested that, 
District 3 publish an insert 
with the annual report, to 
coincide with Education 
Week, and highlighting the 
events of the school districts. 
Mrs. Walsh agreed that this 
was an excellent idea and 
hoped it would proceed. She 
mentioned that District 5 had 
released a very good insert 
last year. Mr. Howrish 
moved that the board publish 
an insert in terms of 
highlighting the events of the 
district and the motion was 
carried.

matter had only come up two 
weeks ago and if the matter 
had not been under discuss- 
ion previous to the time it 
“appeared” on the agenda. 
The mayor informed Mr. 
Hudson that it had been the 
subject of an informal meet- 
ing held in mid-November at 
which time the suggestions 
for the salary increases for 
both mayor and councillors 
were made. 

Mr. Hudson said that on 
the grounds of the informa- 
tion supplied by the mayor, 
that the matter had been 
discussed shortly after the 
election when tnany of the 
councillors were inexperien- 
ced and not in a position to 
assess their new jobs and 
therefore he had objections 
to the salary increases. He 
objected further on the 
grounds that on the basis of 
70 to 80 meetings per vear, 
the remuneration on a per 
meeting basis was about 
$2,500 (at $36 per meeting) 
and the increase for council- 
lors proposed at this time is 
up to $4,500. 

Mayor Plain answered that 
the estimated $4,000 salary 
in the proposal was based 
upon the total of the salary 
plus expenses. Coun. Bread- 
ner interjected that the

information he had been 
supplied by staff indicated 
that if the council had 
continued at the number of 
meetings taking place over 
the last six months, the 
average salary of a councillor 
would be about $4,000 per 
year. 

Mr. Hudson offered that in 
view of the fact that regular 
meetings are scheduled once 
per week therefore S2 meet- 
ings would be held per year. 
He noted that on the basis of 
$36 dollars per meeting, a 
number in the neighbour- 
hood of three meetings 
would have to be held per 
week in order that ihe $4,000 
salary would be received. He 
asked if the council felt that 
two or three meetings per 
week were required to carry 
out the business of the town 
and if the councillors were 
able to accommodate the 
meetings. The mayor stated 
that on the basis of total 
expenditures per councillor, 
which he did not feel he 
should call out and identify 
by name, that the figure of 
$4,000 indicated the average 
remuneration paid to coun- 
cillors. 

Coun. Smith noted that the

report the intention to 
propose a full time mayor as 
being part of his platform. 

Mr. de Bruijn asked coun- 
cil to note that as they gained 
experience in office they 
would find that meetings 
would not be so frequent. 

Mr. Plain said that at the 
time the matter of increasing 
the remuneration was under 
consideration he had ‘‘hon- 
estly’’ ascertained what the 
job would entail. He said that 
he had attempted to make his 
assessment of the job in a 
straight forward manner and 
set it out in that way for the 
public. The mayor pointed 
out that it was one thing to 
look at a job from ‘‘the 
outside’’ and make an 
assessment. He noted that in 
his experience he had found 
that one must look at the 
priorities from the inside, 
examine policies and time 
constraints, and then arrive 
at an assessment. 

Mr. de Bruijn thought that 
the mayor was made fully 
aware of the time require- 
ments before he took office 
or let his name stand for 
office. He noted that a man 
as honest as Mayor Plain (a 
comment which drew laugh- 
ter from the audience) being 
aware of the situation would 
not have elected to have the 
public uninformed of the 
intention to raise the salary 
of mayor. The mayor said 
that the situation had chang- 
ed and it was now apparent 
that the job as it now stands 
differs in the direction and 
inputs in requires. The 
mayor noted that different 
jobs and different approach- 
es require different inputs. 


CITIZEN GIVES APPROVAL 
TO INCREASE 


Mr. Dehane took the floor 
following Mr. de Bruijn’s 
comments and stated that he 
and his neighbours approved 
the increase in salary for the 
mayor in light of the fact that 


- or good two 


\ 


RENEE FISCHER 


the time to be spent on the 
job was to increase. He 
referred specifically to the 
councillors who have taken 
issue with the proposal 
accusing them of making ‘‘a 
lot of noise.’’ He further said 
if the said councillors applied 
as much time to other pro- 
blems, the citizens would 
benefit. His comment re- 
ceived mixed reaction from 
the audience including scatt- 
ered applause and a ‘‘Sez 
You"’ from a corner of the 
room. 

Dr. White directed a 
question pertaining to the 
location chosen for holding a 
meeting drawing as much 
citizen response and high 
turnout. He noted that he 
had approached Coun. Fyfe 
regarding moving the meet- 
ing to a location capable of 
accommodating a larger gr- 
oup. Coun. Fyfe stated that 
she had approached the 
mayor on Monday morning 
to have a larger facility 
arranged for. She stated that 
the mayor had informed her 
that it was too late though 
she felt that advertising on 
all the radio stations would 
have led to a situation where 
the meeting could have been 
held with more citizens 
accommodated. 

Mayor Plain stated that he 
was not opposed to accomm- 
odating the citizens. He did 
draw attention to the fact 
that the approach made to 
change the meeting place 
was made about seven hours 
before the actual time the 
meeting was to be held. He 
said if the council had been 
on their toes, the arrange- 
ments would have been 
made a week ago. 


PETITION PRESENTED 
AGAINST SALARY 
INCREASE SIGNED BY 
1,039 


Mr. Jarvis circulated a 
brief which indicated specific 
areas of contention regarding 
the matter. He told the 
council that he had just 
finished gathering up the 
petition and had a total of 
1,039 signatures. He also 
pointed out the fact that an 
item included within the 
brief had been included 
when indications were that 
there had been a proposal for 
an executive assistant to the 
mayor. He explained that it 
had been indicated to him 
that this position had been 
intended. During the pre- 
sentation of the brief, Mr. 
Plain re-stated that there was 
no intention that an execu- 
tive assistant to the mayor 
was to be hired. 

Coun. Smith wondered 
whether if the group who 
were represented by the 
petition had any suggested 
figure for a salary for the 
mayor. Mr. Jarvis noted that 
the only figure suggested 
was the escalation clause 
plus the based on the cost of 
living index attached to the 
$12,000 per year salary. 

Coun. Smith asked Mr, 
Jarvis what his feelings 
would be to a modified 
proposal stating that she was 
concerned at the expensive 
proposition of plebiscite. Mr. 
Jarvis expressed that he was 


aware of the cost of a 
plebiscite but those who had 
signed the petition were 
calling for that measure to be 
taken. Expressing his per- 
sonal Opinion, Mr, Jarvis 
said he was not in favour of a 
plebiscite because it would 


be futile - the proposal would 


be soundly defeated. 

Coun. Smith wondered 
why the matter of an 
executive assistant was not 
explored to more depth. She 
stated that upon being 
questioned by persons who 
had signed the petition 
regarding the matter of an 
executive assistant and upon 
informing them that no such 
position was intended, some 
wished that they had not 
signed. 

Coun. Smith pointed out to 
Mr. Jarvis that in the 
Woods-Gordon report used 
by the town as the basis for 
their structure, the admini- 
strator is able to reorganize 
as he sees fit. She stated that 
there will be no increase in 
the number of senior position 
in the staff. 

Mr. Jarvis stated that 
according to his information, 
the appointment had been 
made and indeed the execu- 
tive assistant had been 
named. Coun. Smith stated 
that if this had been the case 
then she ‘‘had been framed.’ 

Coun. Wetsch asked Mr. 
Jarvis if what was objected to 
was the full-time mayor or 
the $20,000 salary. Mr. 
Jarvis responded that the 
salary was to be paid as a 
return on monies lost in 
order the mayor could be 
available full-time. He ex- 
pressed doubt that the 
full-time position was re- 
quired. Mr. Jarvis stated 
that he had not received 
much objection to the $4,500 
salary for councillors. 

Mr. Lukay asked what was 
intended in the Brief pre- 
sented where reference was 
made to Planning functions 
in respect to certain duties of 
council members. Mr. Jarvis 
noted in his brief that there is 
no room in the Planning 
Department for a ‘‘self-sty- 
led’’ planner. The mayor 
ascertained that Mr. Jarvis 
was referring that council 
should not attempt to do the 
planning for the planner. 

Coun. Breadner asked for 
an assessment on the time 
that should be spent by the 
mayor on the job from Mr. 
Jarvis and his organization. 
Mr. Jarvis stated that each 
member is responsible for 
the time he or she spends 
and was not prepared to 
deliniate a set time. Mr. 
Jarvis stated that if pay was 
assessed in terms of ability 
‘very few council members 
would be earning their 
expenses.’’ The comment 
drew loud laughter from the 
audience. 

Mayor Plain asked for the 
experience in municipal pol- 
itics that Mr. Jarvis had and 
was informed that Mr. Jarvis 
had been a councillor in a 
town of 2,000 population with 
a planning area of 80 
thousand population for a 
period of eight years. The 
town was in the Burlington- 
Dundas area of southwestern 
Ontario, 

Mr. Goodman expanded 
upon the analogy dealing 
with a man applying for a job 
and being ‘‘hired’’ to take on 
that job. He said that the 
mayor discussed an immense 
raise in salary without prov- 
ing himself and in effect 
changing the job itself. Mr. 
Goodman added that this 
action abregated the terms of 
the contract. He stated that 
acting upon the proposal 
*besmirched the reputation 
of the town.” 

Mr. Goodman referred to 
the agreement arrived at

WATER RATE INCREASES 


Early last week the City of Edmonton passed a bylaw which 
will increase the cost of water to the residents of St. Albert by 
approximately 100% as of January 1, 1976. This bylaw was 
presented and passed at city council meeting before the 
report was released to the Town of St. Albert. The net result 
is that the council was deprived of any opportunity to argue 
the merits of the proposed increases, or to present any portion 
of the town’s case. It is felt that this type of uni-lateral action 
is unacceptable. 


ECONOMIC IMPACT 

The economic impact of the increases in the town’s water 
costs can be illustrated by considering the effect of the two 
stage increases on an average monthly consumption of 
approximately six million cubic feet. 

[1] At Present 
6 million cu. ft./mo. x $0.1760/100 cu. ft. equals $10,560/mo. 
The city imposes a 35% surcharge over and above this 
amount, which equals $3,696/mo. The total monthly bill is 
$14,256, 

[2] 1st increase effective July 1/75 


6 million cu.ft./mo. x $0.2936/100 cu.ft. equals $17,616/mo. 
Add the 35% surcharge $ 6,165.6/mo. 


Total $23,781.6/mo. 
[3] 2nd increase effective Jan. 1/76. 


6 million cu.ft./mo. x 0.3612/100 equals 
Add the 35% surcharge 


$21,672.0/mo. 
$ 7,585.2/mo. 
Total $29,257.2/mo. 

It is clear from this simplified example that the total cost of 
water to the Town of St. Albert will increase by 66.8% 
between the present and July 1/75. The increase over the 
present versus Jan./76 will amount to approximately 105.2%. 


PROPOSED OR INTENDED ACTIONS 
The following actions have been undertaken: 


(1( A request for an informal meeting between the Town 
and City mayors has been forwarded to Edmonton City Hall. 

(2) The Hon. Roy Farran, Minister of Utilities, has been 
contacted and St. Albert’s situation has been succinctly set 
out. : 

(3) The rate increases have been included in the joint 
submission by the Town of St. Albert and other parties before 
the Public Utilities Board. (The justification and the 
‘‘fairness’’ of the rate increase will have to be demonstrated 
by Edmonton before the Board. 

(4) Members of Edmonton City Council have been 
contacted. 

(S) Preliminary discussions regarding the economic 
feasibility of alternative sources of water supply have been 
initiated. 

The Town Council regrets the fact that Edmonton has 
followed its present course of action. It is hoped that by 
diligently pursuing matters in a positive manner that we can 
mitigate the economic effects of the present rate increases.

of a ‘‘free gift’’ given by the 
developer. Mr. Plain cau- 
tioned Mr. Jarvis to stay on 
the topic at the question and 
booing came from the aud- 
ience. 

Mr. Goodman’s final point 
was that if the mayor was to 
receive only a third of his 
salary from the university 
then the remainder could be 
made up by the town and 
justified. His final point was 
that if the mayor or any 
councillor could not agree to

then it was his duty to resign. 


MAYOR NOT EXCUSED 
FROM DISCUSSION AND

SALARY 


Councillor Gary Wetsch 
noted that the mayor could 
not excuse himself from the 
vote and discussion on the

matter of the salary despite 
Mayor Plain asking if this 
could be the case. He stated 
that he appreciated the 
mayor’s sentiments but did 
not feel that he should be 
excused. 

Coun. Lukay asked that 
clarification be given to the 
matter of the average salar- 
ies of members of council in 
the past. He said that there 
seems to be doubt as to the 
accuracy of the material 
council had received. Coun. 
Lukay stated that he would 
rather have further informa- 
tion supplied by staff and 
also that the matter be 
examined in terms of total 
budget. Members of the 
audience felt that matter 
irrelevant. 

Coun. Throndson moved 
that the matter be lifted from 
the table and the motion 
carried 7 to 0. Coun. Thrond- 
son referred to the meeting

meeting at which time the 
matter of salary increase first 
came up. He stated that he 
was soundly against the 
proposal unless modified to 
reflect the iricrease received 
by town employees. He said 
that the facts should have 
come out before the elec- 
torate, defeat the issue and 
get on with the job asked for 
by the electorate, and not 
seek a percentage ‘‘rake-off.’

stated that he was in favour { 


of the tabling motion, Coun. 
Smith was opposed to the 
motion, and Coun. Wetsch 
was not in favour of the 
motion because he felt that it 
was premature.

tem outlined in the Woods-

consistent with the Canadian 
system of Government. Coun

‘‘Heartline’’ is again op- 
erating this year. By phoning 
429-6661, a caller receives 
weekly tips to reduce risk of 
Heart Disease through more 
careful selection and pre- 
paration of foods, weight 
control, and changes in 
lifestyle. 

Having heard that there is 
an excellent Cardiac Unit in 
the Sturgeon General Hos- 
pital, the Kinettes and the 
Lady Lions were interested in 
learning more about this 
facility. An informative tour 
was conducted by Mrs. Fleck 
and Mrs. Houle. There are 
three well equipped Cardiac 
beds in the Intensive Care 
Unit on the third floor. The 
nurses here receive contin- 
uous in-service training whi- 
ch enables them to compet- 
ently care for the patients. 

It is reassuring to know 
these services are available 
should they be required. 

The Kinettes and the Lady 
Lions are still looking for 
canvassers for the Heart 
Fund Blitz Night on Feb. 18, 
particularly in the newer 
areas. If you can assist in this 
worthwhile cause please

E.C.S. programs are often 
received long after the 
commencement of the kin- 
dergarten year. 

Regulations governing gr- 
ants are another problem. 
E.C.S. operators’ presently 
receive $600 for the equiva- 
lent of a full-time child to 
cover expenses. This is 
inconsistent with funds pro- 
vided for elementary child- 
ren of over $700 a child. The 
present regulations require 
kindergarten boards to sub- 
mit a monthly enrolment 
report for grant payments. A 
significant drop in student 
enrolment in the kinder- 
garten program during the 
term could result in the 
operators not being able to 
meet their financial commit- 
ments based on budgets 
approved prior to comm- 
encement of the kindergar- 
ten year. The grants made to 
the kindergartens have been 
slow in arriving. The pay- 
ment due for September 1974 
for the St. Albert Protestant 
Kindergarten was received 
on October 15th.

Board, was another bone of 
contention and the umbrella 
committee does not favour 
the present situation where 
school districts have the 
optiort to negate involvement 
in ECS programs. In part- 
icular the committee is 
unhappy with the lack of 
interest shown by District 6 
(Protestant School Board). 
Recently that district has 
agreed to assist but it is not 
as involved to the same 
extent as District 3. 

The committee also voiced 
its criticism of the ECS 
administration. 

Lack of communication 
and guidance topped the list 
of grievances. The kinder- 
garten operators are still 
without a policy handbook. 

The umbrella committee 
comprises the Parish Kin- 
dergarten, Creative School 
Society, Pre-School Educa- 
tion Society and the Protest- 
ant Kindergarten Society.

International 
Airport 


improvements 


A $2.375 million plan 
which includes using three 
passenger transfer vehicles 
to handle increasing traffic at 
Edmonton’s International 
Airport was announced by 
Don Dewar, Regional Ad- 
ministrator for the Ministry 
of Transport’s Western Re- 
gion. 

The passenger transfer 
vehicles (PTVs), essentially 
mobile waiting rooms, will 
cost just over $1.5 million. 
They will be used to move 
passengers to and from 
aircraft and the terminal 
building, greatly increasing 
passenger movement effi- 
ciency. 

Alterations to the terminal 
building (which will not 
drastically alter its structure) 
include: a two-level ‘‘dock- 
ing’’ facility for arrival and 
departure; a terminal service 
centre including communi- 
c tions equipment to control 
movements of the PTVs, to 
be built on the existing 
observation deck; and the 
purchase of existing aircraft 
loading bridges, will all cost 
an additional $834,000. The 
system is expected to be

day, Feb. 6. 

Mozart’s ‘‘Cosi Fan Tut-

by a cast made up largely of 
graduate students and senior 
undergraduates of the uni- 
versity’s department of mus-

Both performances are 


in Convocation Hall in the 
Arts Building on campus. 
The opera, a comedy in 


‘two acts, is also known by the 


titles ‘‘Schools for Lovers’’ 
and ‘‘Women are Like 
That.’’ It was first heard in 
Vienna in 1790 and has been 
included in the repertory of 
many opera houses. The 
story deals with four young 
people in love and an older 
friend who bets that women, 
no matter how much in love, 
can be seduced.

As the days of the first 
semester at Paul Kane High 
School fade, and become 
memories of time, they act as 
markers reminding us that 
our time is almost over. All 
the hard work and frustra- 
tions endured by both staff 
and students in the first 
semester are merely not 
forgotten, but placed in our 
minds as yet another time in 
our lives. 

The regular classes for the 
first semester will be finish-

Smoking habits of Cana- 
dians have remained rela- 
tively unchanged from 1972 
to 1973, according to statis- 
tics released today by Nat- 
ional Health and Welfare 
Minister Marc Lalonde. The 
latest figures show that non- 
smokers outnumber smokers 
in Canada: 53 per cent of the 
population 15 years of age 
and over does not smoke at 
all, and 60 per cent of the 
population over 15 does not 
smoke cigarettes regularly - 
that is, every day. 

A slightly greater per- 
centage of Canadian women 
over the age of 15 were 
smokers in 1973 (36.3 per 
cent) than in 1972 (35.7 per 
cent), continuing a trend 
evident since 1965S, espéc- 
ially in the age group 1S to 19 
years. In 1965, 77.8 per cent 
of Canadian girls in this age 
group were non-smokers, 
compared to 67 per cent in 
1972 and 65.9 per cent in 
1973. 

Of Canadian men over the 
age of 15, 42.2 per cent were 
non-smokers in 1973, com- 
pared to 42.6 per cent in 1972 
and 34.8 per cent in 196S.

The Students’ Union is 
planning a Winter Carnival 
sometime in February, al- 


Accent on Akins 


mas for 16 days. 

Now, festive lights and 
trees are down and the 
students are trudging thr- 
ough the snow to again wreck 
havoc in the halls. Already, 
they are creating more ideas 
for their dissipation. Plans

been set. This carnival has 
suggestions of hosting such 
events as hockey games, 
broomball games, and hot 
dog eating contests. Provid- 
ing there is a good turnout, 
the Students’ Union should 
have yet another successful 
event. 

The Ski Club at Paul Kane 
has been busy the last while 
planning for their next ski 
trip. Their first trip of the 
school year, was to Jasper 
with Mr. J. Wiltshire and 
Mr. P. Douglas as super-

Canadian River Race’”’ will 
preside over the revelling 
entourage. 


Dec. 20 - 24. The general 
comment was a great trip, as 
all had a good time. 

The next ski trip planned 
will be to White Fish Falls, 
Montana. Mr. J. Wiltshire 
and Mr. P. Douglas will 
again be supervising along

increasingly engaged with 
practices and games. The 
junior boys team has played 
two games so far, one 
against Jasper Place Compo-

lost both games. The coach 
for the team, Mr. Heyworth, 
comments that they are 
steadily improving. 

The junior girls basketball 
team is coached this year by

practices have not numbered

Smoking Habits of Canadians 


The 57.8 per cent of the 
smoking male population in 
1973 was divided as follows: 
47.8 per cent regular cigar- 
ette smokers, compared to 
47.4 per cent in 1972 and 
54.6 per cent in 1965; 3.8 per 
cent occasional cigarette 
smokers, compared to 3.5 
per cent in 1972 and 3.3 per 
cent in 1965; 6.2 per cent 
smoked only pipe and/or 
cigars, compared to 6.5 per 
cent in 1972 and 7.3 per cent 
in 1965. 

From 1965 to 1972, the 
rising percentages of women 
smokers were outweighed by 
lower rates for men, to 
produce lower over-all fig- 
ures each successive year. 
The 1973 statistics show a 
halt to this trend. While the 
levels of smoking are close to 
1972 levels, the over-all 
downward trend has levelled 
off with marginal increases 
in many categories. 

Statistics, prepared for the 
Non-Medical Use of Drugs 
Directorate by Statistics Ca- 
nada, indicate that those who 
do smoke, however, appear 
to be smoking more cigaret- 
tes per day. There has been a

smokers having from 11 to 25 
cigarettes a day and a de- 
crease in the percentage of 
the ones smoking from 1 to

a day) was negligible.

The St. Albert Figure Skating Club is to be congratulated on the program of exhibition 
figure skating which played to a full house in the arena on Saturday afternoon. Louise and 
Barry Soper were as usual superb and they had an excellent supporting cast which, as well as 
visitors from other clubs, included members of our local club who proved to be real troupers 
and gave performances of which St. Albert may be very proud. If Saturday afternoon’s 
performance was a forerunner of things to come, the figure skating carnival, scheduled for 
April, will be well worth seeing.

The child and sport 


By Marty Lyons, 
Assistant Basketball Coach 
University of Alberta. 


Recently in the comic strip 
“Punky Winkerbean,’’ the 
principal of the high school 
was welcoming the students 
back from the summer vaca- 
tion. In the text of his speech 
he explains how hard the 
teachers were working to 
create a learning environ- 
ment that would promote 
growth and maturity and 
help the students decide 
what they wanted to do with 
their lives. this the 
principal said he would like 
them to have done by next 
Tuesday so that scheduling 
for classes could begin. 

For many of us the 
question about life and what 
should be done with it is one 
of the enigmas of today’s 
society. Obviously the major 
problem which will have to 
be dealt with is time - time to 
realize what life is all about. 
This will have to be exper- 
ienced today in our education 
system, the business world 
and the world of sport. The 
capitalistic system has ch- 
anged our thinking from that 
of the traditionalist society of 
feudal times to a society of 
individuals, many of whom 
are left at a distance not only 
from themselves but also 
from their fellow man. This 
society is a competitive one 
geared to produce winners 
not losers.

The spirit of competition 
has brought with it the highly 
paid professional athlete and 
the glory of success. The 
glamour of, sport and the 
prestige of winning has led to 
the downfall of many young 
athletes. This is especially so 
during the formative years 
when the child is in the 
process of developing a 
lifestyle. It is not the sport 
which creates the vacuum of 
alienated society, but rather 
the society that functions in 
the sport. The administra- 
tors, coaches and parents 
have in many cases ruined a 
worthwhile experience for 
the youngsters, by playing 
the best players or teams to 
accomplish their selfish ob- 
jectives, to win or be the 
best. 

To win is a great ideal 
toward which to strive, but to 
hinder the growth of the 
individual in early childhood 
just for the sake of winning, 
is too great a sacrifice. 
Through sport a child can 
have a valuable experience if 
the setting is congruent with 
his age, size and peer group. 
The whole spectrum, coaches 
administrators and the phy- 
sical set-up should be in 
harmony with the child's 
growth rate. Besides facing 
the external pressure of the 
twentieth century sport itself 
the child experiences the 
internal frustrations of trying 
to execute the fundamentals 


of the sport. 

A sport which has been 
geared to the child's growth 
and development is basket 
ball. For years children have 
been forced to compete in the 
world of adult basketball 
now in Canada as well as in 
other parts of the world it has 
become a ‘‘fun’’ game for 
children. 


MINI-BASKETBALL 


The game of mini-basket 
ball is based on the origina! 
game but is limited to and 
adapted to children, boys 
and girls, from grades one to 
seven, age 12 and under. The 
facilities and materials used 
by the players are scaled 
down to their physical 
abilities. The court is not as 
long and wide as _ the 
regulation one. The ball is 
smaller and the backboard js 
one and a half feet shorter 
than the regulation one. The 
teams are composed of 10 
players each. 

This type of innovation can 
be adapted to other sports as 
well. 

It is a chance for parents, 
administrators and coaches 
to foster a positive exper 
ience in sport at an early age. 

**Winning or losing is only 
temporary, friendship is ev 
erlasting."’

Sir George Simpson School 
on Sunday, Jan. 26 from 2 - 5 
p.m. An advertisement app- 
eared in the Gazette issue on 
Jan. 8 giving information 
about the classes being 
offered. Fuller descriptions 

“of the courses are available 
at the Town Hall and at the 
library. 

After the registration for 
children’s classes held on 
Jan. 19, a few openings 
remain in the following: 
woodworking, model aircr- 
aft, children’s art, puppetry, 
multicrafts and arts and

PHYSICAL CULTURE 

The first physical culture 
class for ladies is scheduled 
for Thursday, Jaa. 23 from 8 
- 9:30 p.m. in Sir George 
Simpson School. 

Because the enrolment is 
small and because physical 
culture is extremely difficult 
to describe, the first class 
will be a ‘‘free’’ night when 
anyone who is curious about 
this particularly attractive 
way of exercising can come 
and watch or participate - 
wear comfortable clothing 
which allows freedom of 
movement. 

Physical culture is a series 
of movements performed to 
music which result in im- 
provement of poise and 
posture and is a very graceful 
way of attaining flexibility as 
well as good muscle tone. 

St. Albert is fortunate that 
Margaret Thomson is finding 
time to come here on 
Thursday evenings to con- 
duct classes. She introduced 
this form of exercise to 
Westc n Canada a few years 
ago and since then its 
popularity has grown enor- 
mous. and she herself is in 
great demand throughout the 
region for classes, seminars 
and workshops. 

Come and see for yourself 
what physical culture really 
is - it's fun - and bring your 
friends. The 10 week course 
costs $10 (17 year olds can 
join at a fee of $6) but the 
first night will be free for 
everybody. 


HERCULES SPORTS 
ASSOCIATION : 

A meeting of the associa- 
tion will be held in Grandin 
Clubhouse (beside the swi- 
mming pool) on Sunday, Jan. 
26 at 2 p.m. and managers 
and coaches of soccer and 
girls’ softball, sponsored by 
the association, are asked to 
attend, With the rapidly 
increasing participation in 
these activities some re- 
organization appears to be 
necessary. 

It is important, too, that 
parents of children involved 
in these sports attend and 
find out what the association 
is all about and the role it 
plays in the life of our 
community - especially am- 
ong the young people. 

Perhaps, as parents, you 
may find that you can con- 
tribute towards the unques- 
tionable success of the asso- 
ciation, Too often the work 
involved in organizing act- 
ivities for youth falls on the 
shoulders of a dedicated few. 


Your children need the asso- 
ciation; the association needs 
you. 

So do come to the meeting 
on Sunday, have a cup of 
coffee and find out more 
about the wonderful world of 
Hercules. 


CHILDREN’S GYM 

There is still room for a 
few more children in the 
class for the 6 - 8 year olds 
held in Vital Grandin School 
from 4 - 4:45 p.m. The class 
started on Tuesday, Jan. 21 
but it is still possible to 
register at the Recreation 
Department in the Town Hall 
at a fee which, originally $5 
for 10 lessons, will be 
adjusted. 

Unfortunately there are 
not enough names on the 
waiting list to justify the 
formation of a second class 
for 4's and 5’s. 


GOLF 
The annual learn-to-golf 
school will be held in March. 
There will be further ann- 
ouncements when arrange- 
ments have been finalized. 


WRITERS’ COURSE 

A creative writing course 
is being held on Mondays 
from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. in 
Room 109 at Paul Kane High 
School. Participants will re- 
ceive instruction in writing 
techniques and useful infor- 
mation about marketing the 
finished products. 

The fee is $18 and 
although one lesson of the 10 
week course has already 
been held, it is still possible 
to register at the next class 
next Monday. 


CROSS COUNTRY SKIING 


Although there was a 
rather small turnout at the 
meeting of the St. Albert 
Nordic Ski Club held on Jan. 
17, interest in cross country 
skiing shows no sign of aba- 
ting. Sixty-five people atten- 
ded the recent clinic which. 
in spite of the unseasonable 
rain, was very successful. 
Another clinic will be held at 
a later date whén, it is 
hoped, the weather will be 
more co-operative. 

The new track setter is a 
big success and works very 
well - even though it was 
tried out under very adverse 
conditions (the rain again!) 

For the purpose of tours, 
trails, etc., St. Albert is now 
divided into three areas: 
Sturgeon Section (east of the 
highway); Bishop Section 
(Mission and Lacombe Par- 
ks) and Grandin Section 
(west of the highway). Area 
co-ordinators are being app- 
ointed whose names and 
telephone numbers will be 
published when available. In 
the meantime, phone Ken 
Rothwell at 459-5131 for in- 
formation, 

Ken is also membership 
chairman and will gladly sign 
up anyone interested in 
joining the club. Member- 
ship fees are: family $5., 
single adult $3., student $1. 

Members wishing to par- 
ticipate in the CSA Fitness 
Award program are remin- 
ded that to qualify for awards 
at the end of the skiing year, 
all dates and distances of 
outings must be recorded. 

The next club outing will 
take place on Sunday.Mem 
bers meet at Sir Alexander 
Mackenzie School at | p.m 


where car pools will be 
arranged to transport them 
to Devon for an afternoon's 
skiing. (A packed lunch 
might be advisable if you're 
worried about pangs of 
hunger). 


BRIDGE 


Information has been re- 
ceived at the recreation de- 
partment about forthcoming 
events in the world of bridge 
and anyone interested in 
participating is asked to call 
at the office of the recreation 
department where the infor- 
mation is available. The 
events are too numerous to 
mention in the space avail- 
able. 


ARENA ACTIVITIES 

Hockey fans may be 
interested in the following 
games being played in the 
arena during the coming 
week: Friday, Jan. 24 at 7:30 
p.m. the St. Albert Bruins 
play Waterloo; Sunday, Jan. 
26 at 4:30 p.m., the Bantam 
BB Fire Chiefs play Camrose 
and on the same day the St. 
Albert Comets play Barrhead

OUTDOORS 


Early this year the Alberta 
Land Use Forum will hold 
public hearings in various 
centres in the province. The 
Forum was formed by the 
Alberta Government to hear 
public expression on land use 
and to make recommenda- 
tions to the Government. 

The Alberta Fish and 
Game Association has res- 
ponded to the Government's 
call for briefs even before the 
hearings begin. In Decem- 
ber, 1974 the association met 
with several Cabinet Mini- 
sters to present their views. 
They felt that their message 
could not wait for the formal 
report to Government out of 
the Forum. 

The Fish and Game 
request was that the Provin- 
cial Government provide 
payment to land owners for 
leaving marginal lands un- 
disturbed. The association 
executive had in the past 
presented resolutions that 
asked for tax breaks to 
farmers who left land in its 
natural state to provide 
habitat for wildlife. 

‘Unless we find a way of 
rewarding the man on 
private land for preserving 
natural values, we will not 
only lose these public re- 
sources but, with it, the 
respect for the private 
ownership tradition. Failure 
of private lands to accommo- 
date some natural values will 
increase the demands for 
withdrawal of public lands 
from agricultural use and for 
the creation of more parks to 
preserve disappearing re- 
sources.”" 

The association and the 
provincial Fish and Wildlife 


withDonHayden 


Division ‘‘have for two de- 
cades preached the habitat 
gospel and all this time 
everyone has nodded a Head 
and agreed. It’s time we put 
our money where our mouth 
hg 

As to method of payment, 
the association proposed 
funds be transferred through 
the local taxing authority 
either as a tax rebate or a 
credit. The amount would be 
based on approval by the 
local assessor and acreage 
verification by a. technician. 
Acreage and benefit as 
habitat would be the criteria 
applied in determining pay- 
ment. 

The brief suggested that in 
addition to stopping loss of 
habitat, the scheme might 
slow down ‘‘the unwarranted 
subdivision of agricultural 
land.”’ 

The Alberta Fish and 
Game outlined four priorities 
it said should apply to land 
use. 

The first was the land 
owner compensation pro- 
gram. The second was that 
no public lands be disposed 


of and that any leases of 
Crown lands be subject to 
multiple use management. 
("We cafinot condone the 
lease whith is a privilege 
granted teghe corporation or 
indtVidu®f-for his gainful 
use’"). A lease should not 
grant. exclusive use and 
control but should be avail- 
able to other part-time re- 
source users. The third 
priority in regard to land use: 
a method must be found to 
protect - arginal areas along 
strea where there is 
deterioration of banks or 
water quality. Landowners 
should not be expected to 
cover the cost or incon- 
venience of fencing off these 
areas. The fourth point was 
that hunters and fishermen 
should insist on some finan- 
cial help from the public, just 
as they contribute to habitat 
funds when purchasing lic- 
enses. 

‘Wildlife deserves better 
than its present priority in 
Alberta’s economics. It de- 
serves better than the 
problem status to which it 
has been relegated.”’

Federal Tax Tips 


At this time of year, 
advertisements for register- 
ed retirement savings plans 
are proliferating as various 
financial institutions point 
out the income tax advan- 
tages of investing in RRSPs. 

It's not for Revenue 
Canada, Taxation to advise 
you on the purchase and type 
of RRSP best suited for you, 
but the federal department 
can point out what tax 
implications you should be 
aware of. 

Basically, an RRSP is a 
savings plan in which you 
can invest money for retire- 
ment. Anyone under 71 can 
buy RRSPs with earned 
income. 

Contributions to RRSPs 
are generally deducted when 
calculating income, thus 
earning them the reputation 
of being a ‘tax break.’ This 
means you defer paying tax 
on certain income until the 
future, generally upon re- 
tirement when your tax rate 
could be lower than at 
present. 

Payment of income tax is 
deferred as long as the 
money you've paid in re- 
mains in the plan. 


CONTRIBUTIONS 
ARE LIMITED 


You can contribute at any 
time to an RRSP. However, 
there are limits to the 
amount you can deduct in 
calculating your taxable in- 
come for a particular taxation 
year. Some taxpayers mis- 
takenly believe that excess 
contributions are not taxable 
when an RRSP matures or 
when benefits are paid out. 
This is not so. 

If you are self-employed or 


employed with a company 
that does not have a regis- 
tered pension plan, you can 
contribute as much as 20 per 
cent of your annual earned 
income up to a maximum of 
$4,000 a year. 

If you contribute to a 
company pension plan, your 
total contributions to the 
company plan and the RRSP 
may not exceed 20 per cent of 
your earned income up to a 
maximum of $2,500 a year. 

If you belong to a company 
pension plan but do not 
contribute to it, you can 
contribute up to 20 per cent 
of your earned income toa 
maximum of $2,500 a year. 

If you receive pension plan 
benefits including Old Age 
Security, Canada or Quebec 
Pension Plan benefits, an 
allowance on retirement, 
severance pay or payment 
from a deferred profit shar- 
ing plan, either in a lump 
sum or in form of periodic 
payments which would be 
included in your income, you 
may defer tax by having this 
income transferred directly 
into an RRSP. This does not 
affect the maximum deduc- 
tible contributions set out 
above. 

In all these circumstances, 
the amount you contribute to 
an RRSP is not affected by 
your contributions to the 
Canada and Quebec Pension 
Plans. 


DEDUCTING 
CONTRIBUTIONS 
TO AN RRSP 


Contributions made during 
a particular year must be 
deducted in that year unless 
they exceed the limitation on 
contributions. You should

also note that contributions 
made within the first 60 days 
of a year must be deducted 
from the previous year’s 
income unless the contribu- 
tion limits is exceeded. 

If you should miscalculate 
and contribute more than 
your deductible limit, several 
things could happen. 

If, by December 31, you 
have put more than your 
deductible limit for that year 
into an RRSP, you cannot 
carry the excess forward. 
The excess is not deductible 
from income in that year or 
any subsequent year. 

A different tax situation 
arises if you make your 
over-contribution within 60 
days after the end of the 
calendar year. In this case, 
the balance could be carried 
forward and deducted from 
your income for the year in 
which the payment is made. 

For example, if you contri- 
buted to an RRSP within 60 
days after the end of 1974, 
your contribution would be 
claimed as a deduction for 
the 1974 taxation year. On 
the other hand, if your 
allowable deduction was 
$2,500 and the contribution 
brought your total 1974 
contributions to $2,700, the 
difference of $200 would be 
an allowable deduction for 
the 1975 taxation year. Of 
course, when calculating how 
much you will pay into your 
RRSP in 1975, you will have 
to remember the $200, 
because it will be included in 
the 1975 limit. 


RECEIPTS ARE NEED 


To claim RRSP contribu- 
tions as a deduction from 
your income, you must attach 
a receipt when you file your 
income tax return. 

Sometimes this isn’t easy. 
If you purchased an RRSP or 
contributed to one within 60 
days after the end of the 
calendar year, you might just 
not receive the proper receipt 
by April 30. You would have 
been given an interim or 
temporary one, but if you file 
your income tax return and 
claim the deduction without 
including the proper receipt, 
your claim could be disallo- 
wed. 

So, here’s a quandary. 
What do you do? 

Make every effort to obtain 
an official receipt before 
April 30. This should show 
the name and issuer of the 
RRSP; the signature of an 
authorized official (printed 
facsimiles are acceptable 
under certain conditions;; 
name, address and social 
insurance number of the 
purchaser; the contract 
number; amount of prem- 
iums paid; and the date the 
premiums were paid or the 
taxation year to which they 
relate. 

If you have not received an 
official receipt by the time 
you file your return, com- 
plete your return without 
claiming the deduction. 

When you receive the 
receipt, simply write to your 
District Taxation Office, ex 
plain the situation and 
enclose the official receipt. 
Don’t forget to include your 
name, address, Social Insvur- 
ance Number 
number 


and account 
If you receive an 
assessment notice from the 
Department before the RRSP 
receipt arrives, send the 
information to your District 
laxation Office where 
adjustment will be made.

St. Albert firm doing well 
in spite of energy crisis 
and rising costs. 


The energy crisis doesn't 
seem to be affecting Pro- 
Western Plastics Ltd. of St. 
Albert adversely. 

What with lay-offs in the 
auto-industry and increases 
in oil prices the world over, 
you would think that Pro- 
Western might be reflecting 
a bit of the gloom, as its 
plastic products, used across 
the four Western provinces 
in homes, institutions and 
industry, all come from an oil 
based resin - polyethylene. 

But 77 year old secretary 
treasurer of ‘the still expan- 
ding St. Albert firm Antoine 
J. Lacroix, as the New Year 
gets going, said that this 
looks to be a promising year 
for Pro-Western. Officially 
retired, he doesn’t regard 
coming out to Alberta from 
New Brunswick six years ago 


DR. N.G. 


HOURS: 


wishes to announce his association with 


DR. W. MUNCEY 


to set up what could be 
regarded as a family busin- 
ess; for Mr. Lacroix says that 
he still has a bit of business 
expertise to give to his 47 
year old son, president of the 
company Don Lacroix, and 
his son 21 year old Paul, who 
is being worked into the total 
operation. 

A few facts and figures 
about the firm tell the story 
of its expansion, scope and 
capacity over its first succ- 
essful five years in St. 
Albert. 

Now 45 people from St. 
Albert and surrounding dis- 
trict are employed by the 
company compared to 15 in 
its first year of production. 
And it soon became necess-

company’s products soared. 

The company now has 
eight injection mould mach- 
ines compared to two in 1970 
and the companies diversi- 
fied production capability is 
due to its arrangement for 
exchange of moulds and 
technical data with the 
Quebec-based Industries 
Provincielles Ltd., - one of 
the largest injection mould- 
ers in Canada. 

If you go up to the plant 
located on 10 acres of land at 
Lakeview Drive you'll get 
some idea of the amount of 
raw materials it can handle. 
Hoppers coming into the 
40,000 square foot building 
hold 150,000 Ibs. of high or 
low density polyethylene 
which comes to Alberta from 
Sarnia, Ontario. Ironically, 
the oil for the raw material 
must first be piped east to be 
processed and of course this 
causes an upping in the price 
due to the hidden cost of 
freight rates. 

The plant can also stock- 
pile its raw materials in a 
200,000 Ib. capacity silo and 
with these figures in mind its 
not surprising that the firm 
used three million pounds of 
the raw material in- produc- 
tion last year and also 
expects to hit the four million 
pound mark this year. 

President of the company 
Mr. Lacroix is loathe to 
release figures on production 
costs, perhaps for obvious 
reasons, but says that at the 
present time more of the raw 
material is available than has 
been for some time. He said 
that Pro-Western had been 
on a 60-70 per cent allocation 
from its suppliers, but now, 
because of lay-offs in the 
auto industry, there is a glut 
of the resin on the market. 

However costs of the resin 
have gone up steadily and 
Mr. Lacroix points out that 
another increase is slated for 
next month after three 
increases in the cost of the 
raw material in 1974. 

Naturally this has affected 
the cost of the firms products 
- which range in variety from 
honey pails used by the 
honey industry in the pro- 
vince, to plastic snowshoes, 
dish pans, drain trays, hand 
basins, boot trays, mixing 
bowls, cereal bowls, cups, 
broom trees, multi-purpose 
containers and pails with 
covers, laundry baskets, 
wash tubs, clothes pins, dust 
pans and trash barrels. Two 
types of chairs are produced 
(with steel legs and frames) 
which are suitable for homes 
or institutions. Some of these 
can be seen in local res- 
taurant facilities. 

Mr. Lacroix also said that 
so far price hikes have not 
slowed down demand but 
that ‘the saturation point” 
had been reached. 

Sales Manager for Pro- 
Western Herb Sewers who 
commutes to the plant from 
the city is optimistic for the 
future even though he points 
out that some Eastern firms 
are having to dump plastic 
products at ridiculously low 
prices because of the glut of 
the resin on the market. He 
savs this is only a short time 
thing and that *‘people are 
not dummies anyhow.”’ 

Mr. Sewers said that in 


1974 Pro-Western made th- 
ree million containers in 
assorted sizes from the 3 Ib. 
honey pail to the 5 gallon wax 
pail. He said that one of Pro- 
Westerns biggest accounts 
was with the Alberta Honey 
Co-op, which next to the 
dairy industry, provided the 
most lucrative market in the 
province. 

Overseas Pro-Western is 
also making good progress. 
Their pails are being used 
world-wide, used to pack 
horsemeat in Switzerland 
and fish roe in Japan. In fact, 
as Mr. Sewers pointed out, 
on the basis of the firm's past 
successes, Pro-Western has 
just cornered a contract with 
the fishing industry in British 
Columbia, Pro- Western pails 
will be used to transport 


; 
7% 4 
ie ae 
en 


herring roe back to Japan. 

The firm also puts out 
170,000 ice cream pails a 
month and has virtually 
doubled its industrial hard- 
ware output in the past two 
years. A 30 per cent increase 
in custom moulding is 
expected over 1974 and the 
firm is also thinking of 
manufacturing milk cases 
and had already got into the 
pop case industry in the 
latter part of 1974. Two and a 
half million containers of all 
sizes were made by Pro- 
Western in 1972 and last 
year this figure went up 
another half million with 
further increases slated for 
this year. 

Providing Pro-Western 
can ride any expected or 
unexpected economic storms 


this year and if more 
petro-chemical industries lo- 
cate in Alberta the future for 
this St. Albert company looks 
comparatively bright. 

However Company Presi- 
dent Don Lacroix is keeping a 
watchful eye on the cost of 
packaging materials, pail 
handles, polyethy!ene and 
pigments for colouring. Th- 
ey're all going up in price 
and the only consolation is 
that Pro-Western is not the 
only company to feel the 
pinch of inflation and even 
recession. We're all, in the 
same boat is the attitude of 
Mr. Lacroix, but he’s keep- 
ing his fingers crossed in 
spite of problems as Pro- 
Western Plastics makes sure 
that its head at least will 
remain above water.

THIS SILO AND hopper at the Pro-Western Plastics plant in St. Albert between them 
contain 350,000 Ibs. of the oil based resin used for making the plant’s plastic products. The 
plant will probably get through four million pounds of the resin before this year is out.

Increase in pension payments and family allowances 


Increases in the Old Age 
Security Pension, Guaran- 
teed Income Supplement 
payments and Canada Pen- 
sion Plan, effective this 
month have been announced 
by Health and Welfare 
Minister Mare Lalonde. 

Increases in Old Age 
Security Pension and Guar- 
anteed Income Supplement 
payments represent the fifth 
quarterly escalation based on 
the cost of living, as provided 
for in the Old Age Security 
Act. 

The new monthly total at 
the single rate for persons 
receiving both the basic Old 
Age Security pension and 
maximum Guaranteed In- 
come Supplement will be 
$204.27. . 


Women’s 


Several programs of inter- 
est to women and those 
interested in the contribution 
to society and the arts made 
by women are scheduled to 
take place at the Edmonton 
Public Library. 

Women in Literature, a 
free noon hour course, will 
be given Wednesdays and 
Fridays ‘at the Central 
Library from January 22 until 
March 26. The series covers 
women authors and charac- 


TIME TO REVIEW 


YOUR 


For a married couple who 
are both pensioners, the 
combination of the basic 
pension and maximum supp- 
lement will provide a pay- 
ment of $389.70 for the 
couple monthly. 

The basic Old Age Security 
pension will rise in January 
to $120.06 from the present 
$117.02. 

The maximum Guaranteed 
Income Supplement for a 
single person, or a married 
person whose spouse is not a 
pensioner, will go up in 
January to $84.21 from its 
current $82.08. The maxi- 
mum supplement for a 
married couple, both pen- 
sioners, will increase to 
$74.79 each from $72.89. 
Added to the basic pension, 


this will give each married 
pensioner $194.85 monthly, 
or a total of $389.70 for the 
couple. 


CANADA PENSION PLAN 


Some 600,000 pensioners 
and beneficiaries under the 
Canada Pension Plan will 
receive increases in their 
pension of 10.4 per cent. The 
current maximum Canada 
Pension Plan retirement 
pension will rise to $121. a 
month as of January, 1975, 
from $109.60. 

The increase reflects the 
rise in cost of living in the 
last year and will apply to all 
persons in receipt of CPP 
benefits or pensions as of 
Dec. 31, 1974. The increase 
will be reflected in the 


January cheques. 

The combination of the 
adjusted Old Age Security 
pension and Canada Pension 
Plan retirement benefit will 
provide monthly payments of 
$241.06 where the maximum 
1974 CPP pension is payable. 

Mr. Lalonde said that the 
escalation of benefits under 
the Canada Pension Plan, in 
line with the full increase in 
the cost of living, is the result 
of an amendment to the Plan 
last year. Previously, the 
escalation of benefits was 
limited to two per cent each 
year. 

Of the estimated 600,000 
persons who will be in 
receipt of CPP benefits at the 
end of December, some 
365,000 are retirement pen- 
sioners, 96,000 are widows or

ors. Another 95,000 benefits 
are for orphans and children 
of disabled contributors. 

In addition, there are 
combined benefits, such as 
those of a widow in receipt of 
a retirement pension as well 
as a survivor benefit. 


Increases in Family Allow- 
ances, were also announced 
by Mr. Lalonde. The increase 
is based on the cost of living 
increase since November 
1973, as provided for in the 
Family Allowances Act. 

Federal monthly allowan- 
ces paid for children under 
the age of 18 will rise to 
$22.08 from $20 a month per 
child. Under a provision in 
the Family Allowances Act, a 
provincial government may 
ask the federal government 
to vary the family allowance 
rates payable in that pro- 
vince according to the age or 
the number of children in a 
family, or both, providing the 
family allowance payments 
in each province average 
$22.08. Quebec and Alberta 
have chosen this option, and 
the new rates to be paid in 
Alberta are as follows: 


AGE OF CHILD RATE 
0-6yrs. $16.40 
7-11 yrs. $20.80 

12- 1S yrs. $27.30 

16-17 yrs. $30.60

Mountain parks open 
to snowmobilers 


Most of the mountain 
National Parks will be 
opening their gates to 


snowmobilers this winter. 

The parks have set aside 
special trails for over-snow 
vehicles and have introduced 
procedures for the safety of 
snowmobilers using the trails 

‘*‘Because an oversnow 
vehicle can cause consider- 
able damage to the environ- 
ment if not operated properly 
we require that they remain 
on designated trails at all 
times,”’ said William Turn- 
bull, Director of Parks 
Canada’s Western Region. 

Some trails are quite long 
and wind deep into the 
backcountry. Although the 
scenery is beautiful, a 
mechanical failure could 
endanger a snowmobiler’s 
life by stranding him in the 
icy wilderness. Park wardens 
suggest that snowmobilers 
not travel these trails alone 
with only one machine, that 
skis or snowshoes be carried 
to provide an alternate 
means of travel and that 
procedures for registration in 
each park be followed to the 
letter. 

Registering at self-regis- 
tration stations or with the 
park warden service on every 
trip where required will alert 
wardens when a snowmo- 


biler is overdue and possibly 
in trouble. In this way, a 
quick rescue can be organ- 
ized, Mr. Turnbull cautioned 

While registering, visitors 
may often obtain maps, 
information on trail condi- 
tions, weather reports, and 
details on possible avalanche 
hazards.

By Bonnie Jacobs. 
Morinville. 

Not only is the Appaloosa 
the world’s most colorful 
horse, but it stands without 
equal in Equine history.$ 

By both fair means and 
war, Appaloosa horses were 
taken from their home 
countries. Yes, the famed 
Appaloosa was cherished in 
many countries, such as, 
China, France, England and 
Australia. Strangely enough, 
the spotted steed never did 
become popular in Africa, 
and in many parts of it still 
remain unknown to this day. 
A probable explanation is the 
extreme fighting and super- 
Stition that the horses seem- 
ed to carry with them. 

*snaloosa surviv- 
ed the mai which he 
was encountered in, iiciud- 
ing the edict in 1877 that all 
Appaloosas that belonged to 
the Nez Perce Indians be 
destroyed. 

On one occasion 400 or 
more head of Appaloosas 
were driven into a canyon 
and shot at until not one 
frightened, noble steed sur- 
vived. Hundreds of others 
were caught and destroyed 
separately or bred to draft 
horses until the breed was 
almost extinct. 

It was the U.S. army’s 
endeavour to rid the Nez 
Perce of all their spotted 
horses to insure that the 
proud Indian tribe could 
never fight again. The loss of 
their horses seemed to hurt 
the Indians more than the 
loss of their freedom. The 
last words of Chief Joseph 
were ‘We not only gave up 
our freedom, we gave up our 
horses also and have not 
heard of them since. What 
has happened to our hors- 
es?"’ And so, one of the most 
ignorable points in the 
United States history, finds 
its way into the history of the 
Appaloosa. 

Nine years later, after the 
form of the American Appal- 
oosa Horse Club, in 1947, the 
Appaloosa Horse Club of 
Canada was organized. 

Strange as it may seem, 
although the Appaloosa was

in Canada as carly as 1876, it 
was not accepted with much 
enthusiasm. Moreover, it 
was one of the newest 
candidates for breed recog- 
nition in Canada. 

For every true horse lover, 
the Appaloosa has carried a 
romantic message, as the 
noblest of war-horses of 
Indian days in North Ameri- 
ca. Appaloosa however, have 
also played major roles in 
Canadian history as well. To 
say the least, pages of 
Canadian Appaloosa history 
intermingle with those of the 
world famous Royal Canad- 
ian Mounted Police. 

Although currently the 
popular image is that of an 
RCMP Constable mounted 
on a dark brown bay or jet 
black horse, it was not 

“s the case before 1900. 
Before that time the NWMP 
or RCMP as they are now 
called, have appeared many 
times in drawings and actual 
photos, astride a spotted 
horse. 

But times have changed 
and with them so has the 
Appaloosa’s popularity. By 
the end of this year, 1975, 
the pace of registration mail 
will indicate another year of 
solid growth for the Appa- 
loosa breed, with registra- 
tions possibly reaching well 
over the 9,000 mark in 
Canada. Of course figures 
clash considerably with the 
number of horses registered 
a few generations ago. 

Prompt handling in regis- 
tration forms and transfers is 
kept well up to date weekly. 
Of course that has much to 
do with the excellent board of 
directors, and the way 
Registration Applications are 
filled out. 

For 1974 it was a reward- 
ing year for the APHCC or 
Appaloosa Horse Club of 
Canada. And the future looks 


even brighter! Growth is in 
all areas of activicy. one 
are on the increase, as well 


as membership. Canada now 
as 16 affiliated regional 
Appaloosa horse clubs, wh- 
ere as last year there were 
only 1S. The National Appa- 
loosa magazine has improv-

ed, and the breed itself is 
becoming more outstanding. 

Speaking of Appaloosa 
shows, over 60 all-Appaloosa 
shows were held across 
Canada through 1974. By 
this time next year the 
number of shows should 
have doubled, with futurities 
and regional shows coming 
on much stronger. 

The Appaloosa shows 
much stamina and versatil- 
ity, defeating top notch 
horses of other Equine 
breeds. Yes, the Appaloosa 
is boldly holding the grand 
title of a proven all-around 
versatile breed. The Appa- 


loosa also stands out at horse 
auctions and stallion service 
auctions, by leaving the ring 
with the highest bids. Such 
an example is Prince Plaudit, 
who sold for $260,000 and 
was later syndicated for 
$300,000 with a stud fee of 
$3,000. 

The favorite of all APHCC 
Appaloosa shows is of course 
the National. The biggest 
attrraction of this show lies in 
the fact that the best 
Appaloosas are competing 
for Canadian National recog- 
nition. 

Last year at the National, 


Brown egg hens 


catch up with 
white egg hens 


Information received from 
Britain by Alberta Agri- 
culture indicates that the 
perform ince of hens that lay 

vwnh eggs is catching up 
with that of hens that lay 
white eggs. 

When researchers at the 
National Poultry Tests at 
Milford, Surrey, compared 
the average performance of 
the best five entries in each 
of the past six tests, they 
found that egg production 
from the white egg chicken 
strains had gone up since

1970 from 279.4 to only 281.2 
eggs a year. However, 
production from the brown 
egg strains had risen from 
253.1 to 268.1. 

Also, while feed consump- 
tion of the white birds 
between 127 and 532 days of 
age had fallen from 106.9 
pounds to 100.4 pounds since 
1970, consumption of the 
brown birds had fallen from 
108.5 pounds to only 97.2 
pounds. 

The general manager of 
the National Poultry Tests, 
Jeremy Holmes, says that it 
is impossible to specify what 
proportion of these changes 
are due to genetic improve- 
ment in the brown strains 
and what proportion is due to 
environment. 

However, he believes the 
analysis indicates that the 
egg production of white 
chicken strains reached a 
plateau around 1969, and 
that there has been little 
improvement since. Brown 
strains, on the other hand, 
appear to have reached this 
plateau two or three years 
later, and there is evidence 
that improvements are still 
occurring.

the Grand Champion stallion 
award went to Wapiti Senor 
owned by Caston Appaloos- 
as, Ontario. Angel Rock took 
Grand Champion mare, for 
her owner J. Junker of Minn. 

Most Colorful Appaloosa 
honors went to Kyloe She- 
bang from Manitoba. While 
Arapahoe Jess captured the 
grand title of Grand Champ- 
ion Gelding and then went on 
to win The Ladies Pleasure 
Class and a third in Open 
Pleasure. The 1975 National 
Appaloosa Show has not 
been held yet. 

‘They're off and running!"’ 
Are the words heard fre- 
quently among Appaloosa 
breeders. Yes, it’s true, 
Pari-mutual racing for App- 
aloosa owners and fans are 
definitely highlighted in Ca- 
nada. Appaloosa racing is on 
the move in five provinces 
across Canada. Alberta has 
four racing committees, with 
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, 
British Columbia, and On- 
tario each having one. In 
1974 most Appaloosa races 
carried purses averaging 
over $500 per race. This year 
will even be better. Besides 
Maiden and Open Allowance 
races the second Canadian 
Appaloosa Derby is sched- 
uled for July 1975 in Calgary. 
This race will be run at 440 
yards and will be open for 
three year olds only, with an 
estimate purse of $1,000. 

Wyalta War Bird was the 
winner of the first Canadian 
Appaloosa Derby in 1973. 
Later in the year Wyalta War 
Bird was sold to New 
Zealand and is the first 
Canadian Appaloosa to go to 
that country. 

The betting public also 
likes what the Appaloosa has 
to offer. The following is 
quoted from ‘The Canadian 
Appaloosa Journal’ - ‘‘it 
would appear that the 
betting public, who will 
ultimately decide the fate of 
the racing Appaloosa, like 
what we have to offer."’ By 
this sentence it is clear that 
the racing Appaloosa, defin- 
etly has a home on the 
Canadian race tracks. 

You are probably wonder- 
ing exactly what is an 
Appaloosa, besides being a 
horse. What is the ideal 
conformation? Color? Well, 
here's what the Appaloosa 
Horse Club of Canada has to 
say: 

“Should be of light horse 
breeding, no draft or pony 
blood allowed. The Appa- 
loosa should be symmetrical 
and smooth. Head straight, 
forehead wide. Ears pointed 
and of medium size, 

‘*Neck should be of me- 
dium length with a clean-cut

**Forearm is well muscled,

Cannons are short, wide, and

The Appaloosa usually 
ranges in height from 14 to 
16 hands (a hand equals four 
inches in height). The 
minimum height for a mature 
Appaloosa is 14 hands, with 
no maximum height require- 
ments. As for weight, there 
are no requirements as each 
horse will have a different 
weight, depending on his 
health and working require- 
ments. However Appaloosas 
usually weigh in at anywhere 
from 950 pounds to 1,250 
pounds, as a general rule. 

Color facts are many when 
it concerns the Appaloosa, 
and to be truthful, in the 
Appaloosa the color genes 
are least understood. 

The Appaloosa has six 
color patterns which are 
clearly varified by the Appa- 
loosa clubs. These patterns 
are as follows: 

1. Leopard 

2. Snowflaked 

3. Frosted 

4. Spotted blanket 

S. Blanket 

6. Marble, or Roan 

There’s also a seventh 
‘color pattern,’’ but it is 
identified as a lack of color 
and is classified as a margin- 
al. These Appaloosas are 
either lacking in color, or 
showing only a trace. Such 
horses must be strong in 
other Appaloosa breed char- 
acteristics though, such as: 
striped hoofs, mottled skin, 
varnish marks, white sclera 
around the colored iris of the 
eye, and finally the sparse 
mane and tail (naturally 
short and thin).

Chicken waste for feed 
economically feasible 


The study, which examin- 
ed the economic aspects of 
recycling layer and broiler 
wastes and feeding them to 
chickens and livestock, sho- 
wed that dried layer waste 
(DLW) can be processed and 
fed back to poultry on at least 
a break-even basis in 50,000 
to 80,000 laying hen opera- 
tions. However, recycling 
was not a break-even propo- 
sition for the family-sized 
poultry farm. 

The cost of drying the 
layer waste was $25, $30 and 
$46 per ton for flock sizes of 
80,000, 50,000 and 10,000 
respectively. The feeding 
trial results indicated that up 
to 12.5 per cent of DLW

could be used in the ration 
without adversly affecting 
egg production or feed 
efficiency. When higher per- 
centages were fed, egg 
production and feed effi- 
ciency were reduced. When 
20 per cent or more DLW was 
fed both body weight and 
egg weight declined. 

DLW can also be fed to 
dairy and beef cattle. The 
USDA report showed that 
beef cattle rations containing 
up to 30 per cent DLW could 
be fed without a significantly 
adverse effect on perfor- 
mance or carcass quality. 
Likewise, ground and ensiled 
broiler waste showed no 
negative effect on the carcass 
quality of beef cattle, but 
feed efficiency tended to be 
lower. Palatability was found 
to be the main problem when 
DLW was fed to beef cattle, 
the report said.

cially in either the United

it is being used in isolated 
cases by producers feeding 
livestock on their own pre- 
mises. 

Mr. Patsula believes that 
much more research needs to 
be done in such areas as 
product analysis for toxic 
chemicals and pathogenic 
organisms. He says cases of 
infectious and exotic sal- 
monella bacteria have risen 
by 60 per cent in one test 
area in England, and that the 
British Ministry of Agri- 
culture has cited the indis- 
criminate sale of DLW, as 
recycled protein, as a poss- 
ible cause. 

“If DLW was properly 
dried and pasturized to meet 
specific standards it would 
probably be safe to feed,”’ 
Mr. Patsula says, ‘‘but at the 
present time there are 
neither manufacturing stan- 
dards nor health criteria 
governing the marketing of 
this product in Canada for 
commercial purposes. How- 
ever, there is a lot of 
research being done in North 
America on the safe use of 
recycled animal wastes.’’

By Stan Schellenberger, 
MP Wetaskiwin. 
Everyone likes to talk 
constantly about the wea- 
ther but feels powerless to 
do anything to change it. 
However scientists are 
constantly discovering that 
the activities of man are in 
fact seriously contributing 
to the changing weather 
patterns of the world. Quite 
startling, isn't it, to think 
that man can actually 
influence the elements? 
The signs that the 
weather is indeed changing 
are indisputable: the range 
of the South-American bur- 
rowing animal, the armad- 
illo, is growing smaller and 
smaller, the monsoon rains 
do not come in India, snow 
still covers the ground 
when the robins return in 
New England, the Sahara 
desert advances in North 
Africa. The climate has 
changed in the past but 
never before has it been so 
influenced by the one factor 
in the world sure to be 
affected the most - man 
himself. 
Every year, man’s acti- 


Report from Parliament Hill 


vities - fuel combustion, 
transportation, industry, 
waste disposal, etc. - spew 
millions of tons of particles 
into the world’s atmos- 
phere. In the past, only 
huge volcanic erruptions 
could unload large quanti- 
ties of dust, ash and 
particles into the air. Now, 
to some degree, man has 
mastered nature. It has 
been estimated that man’s 
influence on climatic condi- 
tions is 16 to 20% compar- 
ed with natural influences. 
The world’s weather is 
gradually growing cooler. 
This cooling has had an 
impact on the pattern of 
winds and rainfall. Paths of 
high-pressure areas have 
changed and winds now 
blow where they never did 
before. Several central Af.- 
rica nations have experien- 
ced drought periods of four 
to five years’ duration, 
droughts that have resulted 
in withered crops and 
blistered pastures. 
Scientists are now ex- 
tremely interested in the 
study of the climate, how 
and why it changes. It has

been suggested that the 
dust particles emitted into 
the atmosphere are causing 
the creation of clouds. The 
cloud cover reduces solar 
radiation and gradually 
cools off the air. But 
‘extensive research is need- 
ed in this field to determine 
the exact nature of the 
dust particles and the 
reason for their altering 
climate conditions. 

The average temperature 
in the City of Toronto has 
risen by about four or five 
degrees in the last one 
hundred years. This change 
is attributed to the fact that 
there are tons of people, 
cars, sky-scrapers, and 
miles of paved roads and 
parking lots in the metro- 
politan area. During the 
winter months and huge 
buildings in the city are 
heated internally to a 
temperature averaging 70 
degrees. These buildings 
act as gigantic radiators 
heating the outdoors. Then, 
in the summer, the build- 
ings absorb and store heat, 
with the result that during 
the evenings this heat drifts

into the air preventing a 
significant cooling of the 
atmosphere. 

Large urban centres ge- 
nerally have an efficient 
drainage system built into 
the roads and sidewalks. 
This means that any snow 
or rain is carried away soon 
after it falls. In rural areas 
the precipitation falls on 
the ground. When the sun 
shines in the country its 
rays are expended in 
vaporizing the precipitation 
whereas in the city the rays 
serve to heat the atmos- 
phere. Thus the cities are 
usually warmer than the 
rural areas. 

City skyscrapers alter 
wind patterns and speeds. 
The wind speed is acceler- 
ated because of a tunnel 
created by the skyscrapers 
that line both sides of the 
street. This acceleration is 
prevalent only when the 
street runs in the same 
direction as the prevailing 
wind. Conversely, when the 
wind is blowing from the 
opposite direction it is 
slowed down by the tall 
buildings. This hinders the

Scientists also believe 
that the amount of precipi- 
tation experienced by a city 
increases proportionately 
with its population. The 
larger the city, the more 
rain and snow it will have. 
Possible causes have been 
suggested for this trend: 
clouds seeded by pollu- 
tants, ait turbulence creat- 
ed by buildings, and heat 
generated by cars, indus- 
tries and buildings, but 
much more indepth study is 
necessary to accurately 
determine the contributing 
factors.

The MD of Sturgeon is 
looking at regional use for its 
proposed park reserve at 
Cardiff. 


As the MD council review-

$16.000 bid for the facility 
design from G. R. Shelley 
and Associates which incl- 
udes soil testing and engin-

that metropolitan arcas ne- 
eded recreation, 

“Would it not be better if 
it became a regional park?" 
he asked, adding, ‘Let's 
look at the regional aspect." 

Reeve of the MD Bill Flynn 
and Superintendent of Stur- 
gcon Regional Recreation 
Laurent Coulombe pointed 
out that they would have to 


have the design first before 
they could show it to other 
municipalities. 

The MD also needs $35, - 
000 for reclamation purposes 
on the proposed park and it is 
hoped that this will come 
from the provincial govern- 
ment’s Department of the 
Environment. 

They promised us $35,- 
000,"* said Councillor Hubert 


Lamoureux, he hoped that 
this was not just a political 
promise and added that if it 
was available he would say 
yes to it, 

Mr. Coulombe told council 
that if they wanted to do 
away with an original facility 
design this would bring the

Fababeans - great potential 
as high protein forage 


Alberta Agriculture’s 1974 
fababean demonstration pl- 
ots indicate that this crop has 
great possibilities as a high 
protein forage. 

Larry Gareau, the depart- 
ment's forage crop special- 
ist, says that this year more 
emphasis was placed on the 
feasibility of using fababeans 
as a forage crop, rather than 
for seed, because of the 
extremely late spring in both 
central and northern Alberta. 

He reports that 55,000 
pounds of seed were distri- 
buted by Alberta Agriculture 
last spring to 65 farmers for 
planting in three to five acre 
plots and that another 20,000 
pounds were given to seven 
dehydrating plants in the 
province to be planted in 30 
te 40 acre fields. An addi- 
tional 600,000 pounds of 
seed, obtained independ- 
ently by a number of far- 
mers, were used to plant an 
estimated 5,000 acres. 

Approximately 15 per cent 
of the combined seeded ac- 
reage was harvested as 
forage with an estimated 
8,000 to 10,000 tons being 
ensiled, 300 tons dehydrated 
and pelleted, 20 tons cubed 
and 200 tons put up as dry 
hay. 

As a forage, the total yield 
of dry matter per acre varied 
from 1.25 to 4 tons per acre, 
and the protein content 
varied from 12 to 20 per cent. 
‘*It was evident from our 
research findings,’ says Mr. 
Gareav. ‘“‘that the fababean 
varieties presently available

must be planted very early in 
the spring in this climate, 
and that they must reach an 
advanced stage of growth 
before they are harvested for 
silage or dehydrated for 
pellets and cubes. 

Other findings showed 
that this crop can tolerate low 
temperatures, but that 10° or 
more frost in the fall is 
disasterous to it. The high 
moisture content of faba- 
beans necessitates a longer 
processing time than is the 
case with alfalfa. Pelleting 
was easy and the pellets 
were very stable, but att- 
empts at cubing sun-cured 
material were not satis- 
factory. However, one cub- 
ing plant produced a good 
product by mixing sun-cured 


fababeans with one third 
alfalfa. 

Although fababean silage 
was readily accepted by 
livestock, in some cases 
cattle were reluctant at first 
to eat the pellets and cubes. 
However, they soon became 
accustomed to them. 

Another point that came 
out of the research was the 
fact that frost-damaged fa- 
babeans do not seem to 
accumulate nitrates to any 
extent. 

A number of farmers in 
central and northern Alberta 
who are co-operating in the 
research seeded 23 four-acre 
plots in the latter part of 
October to test the feasibility 
of fall seeding. Despite the 
long open fall, no~sign of 


sprouting was observed. 

According to Mr. Gareau, 
Dr. Laurie Evans of the 
University of Manitoba's 
Plant Science Department, is 
selecting and breeding faba- 
bean varieties in an attempt 
to find varieties that are 
more suitable for Western 
Canada’s short growing sea- 
son than the presently grown 
European varieties. Two of 
his varities appear very 
promising from the point of 
view of ease of handling, 
lower susceptibility to dis- 
ease, higher yields and 
earlier maturity. The Euro- 
pean varieties now being 
grown in Western Canada do 
not mature early enough to 
produce good seed in north- 
ern Alberta.

were also excluded. 

He pointed out that if this 
were done, then there would 
be a hodge podge resulting, 
with different coloured signs 
and buildings of differing 
materials at the park site. 

It was decided to agree to 
the bid from G. R. Shelley 
and Associates for the 
original facility design and 
that the revenue for the 
contract come out of a special 
recreation fund. This would 
avoid tampering with the mill 
rate which would go up 
slightly if the contract were 
funded normally. 

The success of the park 


reserve hinges however on 
the present owners of the 40 
acre site being motivated to 
sell and it is.expected that 
they will once they see the 
development plans and de- 
signs. 

Also G. R. Shelley and 
Associates have made a 
proviso that there shall be no 
public use of the park till the 
disposal grounds are phased 
out, 

Reeve of the MD Bill Flynn 
said he wouldn't like to see 
that and recommended the 
use of the facility while the 
disposal grounds were still 
operating.

MD 


Following are some of the 
highlights from the regular 
mecting of the MD of 
Sturgeon #90, Jan. 16 and 
Lis 

** ** ** 

COUNCIL AGREED to 
give Fort Saskatchewan an 
indication of the MD's 
interest in a regional ambul- 
ance service and also its 
desire for further study of the 
question. There seems to be 
some support for the idea 
among MD of Sturgeon 
residents of Bon Accord and 
Gibbons, also Namao who 
would fall into the Fort 
Saskatchewan area if such a 
service proved viable. 

It was. pointed out to 
council that St. Albert 
Kinsmen have already sugg- 
ested purchasing an ambu- 
lance for the Sturgeon 
General Hospital. 

** ** ** 

THE MD WILL hold its 
annual meeting March 22 at 
2 p.m. 

a ** 

COUNCIL ENACTED a 
bylaw that will authorize the 
MD to borrow $90,000 from 
the Receiver General under a 
winter works program for the 
Riviere Qui Barre multi- 
purpose facility. The facility 
itself will cost a total of 
$181,000. The borrowing of 
the $90,000 by the MD will 
be a forgiveable debt for 
labour costs on the project. 
The bylaw was passed at 
third reading. 

** *% ** 

COUNCILLOR WALTER 
Van de Walle wants to see a 
warble free province. He said 
the MD should write to the 


Minister of Agriculture Dr.. 


Hugh Horner saying that the 
Alberta Warble Infestation 
program should be compul- 
sory province wide. He was 
reacting to a discussion on a 
letter from the Minister con- 
cerning the revised version 
of the 1960 Pest Act which 
was due to come into effect 


wants warble control to be compulsory 


November 1, The Act sugg- 
ests that control be improved 
but leaves it up to the 
individual to combat the 
warble fly menace. Reeve of 
the MD Bill Flynn did not 
think it right that anyone 
should opt out of the 
program and added that ‘‘if 
some of our neighbours opt 
out, wouldn't it make control 
difficult here?"’ If the Act 
was enforced province wide, 
it would probably mean that 
no cattle would be allowed 
into Alberta unless they were 
treated before entry. 

** ** *% 

THE MD SET the wheels 
in motion to have preliminary 
agriculture budget by Feb. 6. 
The mill rate for the budget 
was set at three mills. The 
budget will be designed to 
meet a 30 per cent increase 
in the cost of herbicides, 
purchase of $100,000 worth 
of chemicals and a hefty road 
spraying program of $50,000. 
Two thousand dollars was 
also being set aside for 
erosion control. 

** oe. — ae 

RIVIERE QUI BARRE 
SHOULD benefit consider- 
ably if the MD negotiated 
successfully for a highway 
realignment near that com- 
munity. Three local property 
owners are known to favour 
having the realignment cross 
their property and the MD 
council favours ‘‘getting out 
there quick’’ to acquire the 
land which council has 
agreed be set at $350 per 
acre market value, The only 
real reservation expressed by 
council came from Councillor 
Clay Crozier who said the 
realignment: might be a 
mistake as it would cut the 
eastern growth potential of 
the community. 

om ee ee 


“IT’S APPALLING,” said 
Coun. Walter Van de Walle, 
commenting on the bad state 
of repair of some of the MDs

Public Works equipment. He 
said that a new 627 looked as 
if it were 10 years old, while 
another councillor, Robert 
Stack described how the 
front wheel came off one 
machine, as the driver ran off 
the tire in a tight turn ona 
slope. Coun. Van de Walle 
suggested that maybe it was 
time to sit down with 
employees on this matter, 
while Mr. Flynn suggested 
that if the MD was bringing 
in new equipment it should 
order well ahead.

the project makes it possible 
for Morinville to use the 
Manawan drainage system 
for a couple of years because 
of a delay in that commun- 
itvy’s sewer line. Mr. Flynn 
revealed this to council

THE MD EXPRESSED its 
concern that St. Albert might 
not be able to continue its 
tuition agreement for stu- 
dents who live in the south 
east corner of the MD. It was 
suggested the matter be 
brought out into the open 
with St. Albert, which 
apparently feels that either 
facilities must expand at the 
Paul Kane High School or the 


tuition agreement must end.

Mandatory 


seat belt 


legislation urged 


Consumers’ Association of 
Canada urges the immediate 
pyplementation of manda 
tory seat belt legislation in alt 
of the provinees and territor 
ies In Canada. 

Ihe Association will app 
eal to provincial and territor 
itl governments to tntroduce 
mandatory seat belt legisla. 
tion in light of mounting 
evidence that seat belts save 
lives. Over 9S per cent of 
vehicles in Canada are 
equipped with the safety 
devices and a mandatory use 
law adopted tomorrow could 
have an immediate massive 
effect in terms of protecting 
the motoring public. 

It is estimated that if all 
provinces adopted the legis 
lation it would represent 
annual savings to Canadians 
of over 1,300 lives and some 
$260 million in medical and 
social assistance costs and 
lost productivity. 

The federal and provincial 
Ministers of Health advocat 
ed mandatory belt laws last 
spring but only the provincial 
transport ministers have the 
power to introduce such 
legislation. 

The Province of Nova 
Scotia has already taken the 
initiative. On Nov. 27, 
legislation was passed by 
that province which directs 
that“‘if a motor vehicle is 
equipped with restraint equ- 
ipment of the type required 
by the Motor Vehicle Safety 
Act of Canada, then the 
operator and passengers in 
that motor vehicle have to 
use the restraint equipment 
inthe manner for which it 
was designed.’’ Regulations 
exempting certain types of 
operators, passengers and 
vehicles, such as mail drivers 
from meeting the require- 
ments have yet to be drawn 
up. 

In October, Ontario rever 
support for a 
mandatory belt law. stating 
that there is ‘just too much 
opposition” to the idea which 
was first promised in the 
Throne Speech last March. 

Literally hundreds of stu 


sed its 


dies and investigations done 
Since the mid-1960's have 
proven the importance ot 
belts to drivers and passen 
VCTS, 

In one of the most 
convincing studies ever done 
Volvo examined 28,000 acci 
dent cases in Sweden in 
volving 37,511 front seat 
occupants. They found that 
there was not a single fatality 
in the case of belted occu 
pants at speeds up to 60 
miles per hour, while deaths 
were observed in the unbelt 
ed group at speeds as low as 
12 miles per bout 

Seat belts serve a dual 
purpose, One is to prevent 
jection and the second 
purpose is to prevent collis 
ion with the intertor of the 
vehick The wearing of a 

at belt by the driver helps 


loreduce driver fatigue, thus 


liminishing the possibility of 


iccidents caused by sleepy 
lrivers, More important 
crhaps, is the fact that the 
i belt keeps the driver in 
it, at his controls, tn 
re he mievht other 
t thrown trom his scat 

\it j hil ip i 
fein in pl { 


is unlikely to prevent you 
from collision with the 
tterior of the vehicle, there 
fore, the lap and shoulder 
combination is safest, 

Ihe claim that there is 
possibility of harm caused by 
the wearing of seat belts is 
truc. However, the problem 
yencerally arises only when 
individuals have not attached 
their belts properly leading 
to some pelvic and/or ab 
dominal injury. Even if the 
belt were improperly atta 
ched, injuries would almost 
always be less severe tian if 
the belt were not worn at all 

The excuse that “I’m a 
very careful driver.’’ does 
not hold either. Careful 
drivers have accidents too, if 
not on the giving end, then 
on the receiving end 

“Tm just going around the 
corner,’’ you say. That is the 
most important time to wear 
them. More than half of all 
25 


fatalities occur within 
miles of the home and at 
speeds of less than 45 miles 
per hour. 

As for the 
water’’ 


*“tire and 
argument, immer- 
sion only occurs in about one 
out of every 300 injury 
producing accidents. The 
odds against fire are about 
the same. When it does 
happen, the seat belt. which 
takes less than a second to 
undo, is your protection 
against a collision with the 
interior of the car and a 
resulting loss of conscious- 
ness. 

One of the strongest 
objections to mandatory belt 
use legislation is that it 
would be an infringement on 
the personal freedom of a 
person to decide whether or 
not to use a belt. 

First of all, driving is nota 
right, it is a privilege. It is a 
privilege which is subjected 
to all kinds of restrictions 
such as red lights, stop signs 
and speed limits. Also, the 
wearing of a seat belt 
reduces costs to all of 
society. By refusing to wear 
one, an individual is not only 
making a personal decision 
He is increasing everyone's 
taxcs and insurance pre 
miums 

The statement that atr 
bags are coming and belt 
laws will not be necessary 
does not solve present pro 
blems. Firstoft all, itis not 
certain air bags will be in use 
United States or 


Canada. Even if air bags are 


in the 


manufactured within the 
next couple of years, it will 
be at least 10 vears after that 
before as many vehicles have 
air bags as presently have 
lap and shoulder belts 

The complaint that seat 
belts are inconvenient and 


uncomfortable may stem 


from improper wearing The 
ap belt should be worn 
snugly and th shoulder belt 
with about enough slack for 


vou to pass vour fst between 


your chest and the belt. In 
other words, the shoulder 
portion Should not be worn 
snugly, nor should at be worn 
with oa msiderable amount

AG SOCIETY MEETING 


The Bon Accord and 
District Agricultural Socicty 
held its annual meeting on 
Monday. January I3in the 
Bon Accord Community 
Centre. One of the society's 
main concerns is assisting 
the Recreation Board in 
building our recreation com- 
plex. The society held six 
consecutive Farmers’ Market 
days with one wind-up sale at 
the annual turkey supper. 
This vear, because of lack of 
facilities, no stalls were 
available for rent, but hope- 
fully for the coming season 
stalls will be availabie for 
rent to anyone wanting to sell 
products at the Farmers’ 
Markets. Anyone wishing to 
avail themselves of the 
opportunity to dispose of 
farm produce can call Pat 
Reichle - 921-3535 for further 
information. An auction sale 
is slated for Saturday, April 
19, with auctioneer Peter 
Prodaniuk. Any saleable 
item, especially farm mach- 
inery, can be sold on a 
commission basis. Elected by 
acclamation to the Board of 
Directors were Ethel Samis, 
Bob Putnam, Archie Jenkins 
and Mike Betchuk. 


CARNIVAL DAYS

be commended for their 
great co-operation in donat- 
ing their time to a worthy 
cause.

Centre during 1974 amoun- 
ted to $3,200. Plans are

Reports 


By Peter Elzinga, MP 

During the Christmas br- 
eak I have had a fairly busy 
schedule. There were eight 
public meetings held thr- 
oughout the constituency, 
which were advertised in the 
Edmonton Journal and the 
local papers. These meetings 
were held to enable constit- 
uents to voice their opinions 
in areas of Federal concern. 
Many topics were discussed, 
issues such as Capital 
Punishment, increased aid to 
senior citizens, the turn-over 
of 47,000 aces of land to the 
Cree Indian Band in Wood 
Buffalo National Park, our 
Energy situation, and the 
proposed indemnity increase 
for Members of Parliament. 

Over all | feel the meetings 
were very worthwhile, and 
more of these type of meet- 
ings are planned for the 
future. The attendance var- 
ied a great deal from meeting 
to meeting, and thanks are 
due to the individuals that 
participated, 

The meeting for the Stur- 
geon area was held at the 
residence of Mr. and Mrs. 
John Devereux on Friday, 
January the third, 

I also had the opportunity 
of attending a good many 
other gatherings, of appear- 
ing on ITV on Tuesday, Jan. 
14, and appearing on the 
“‘talk-back’’ program on 
CJCA radio, Correspondence 
and telephone calls have also 
been received, and again 
may | stress that if there is an 
Opinion or a comment you 
wish to voice, or a problem 
that I may be of assistance 
with please let me know, I 
can be reached postage free, 


if you mail your letter to the 
House of Commons, Ottawa. 

Parliament reconvenes on 
Jan. 22, and some of the 
legislation that has been held 
over is, Bill C-32 the ‘‘Petro- 
leum Administration Act." 
This Act will enable the 
Federal Government to re- 
gulate the price of Canadian 
crude oil and natural gas in 
interprovincial trade and 
export trade. A Bill that the 
Progressive Conservative 
Party is opposed to. Bill C-19 
‘The Two Price Wheat Act."’ 
This is an Act to provide for 
payments in regard to Wheat 
produced and sold in Canada 
for human consumption in 
Canada. This is a measure to 
provide, during the period 
from July 1974 to June 1980, 
payments for Wheat sold for 
human consumption in Can- 
ada. 

Bill C-36 ‘The Represen- 
tation Act, 1974"' was passed 
just before our Christmas 
recess. This is an Act to 
provide for representation in 
the House of Commons, to 
establish electoral boundar- 
ies commissions and. to 
remove the temporary sus- 
pension of the Electoral 
Boundaries Readjustment 
Act. This Act will increase 
the number of Members in 
the House of Commons and 
Alberta will gain two federal 
seats in the next federal 
election, 

| really enjoyed travelling 
through the entire consti- 
tuency again and in closing | 
express my gratitude to the 
many constituents of Pemb- 
ina for their Christmas 
wishes.
